Live trees

are a good
investment

LIVE CHRISTMAS trees are
often a good investment.
They can be planted out after
Chnstmas or left in a con-
tainer for use next year. How
can you help your tree sur-
vive for another year? Lesley
Ansell-Shepherd, chief
naturalist of Lynn Canyon
Ecology Centre, has some
tree survival tips.

Indoors — make sure the
tree is not sitting in a draught
or close to the heat register.
— don’t overwater, allow the
soil to dry out slightly bet-
ween waterings as you would
a houseplant.

— avoid targe or hot
Christmas lights and restnct
the use of lights on the tree to
short periods to avoid burn-
ing the needles.

-— avoid clammp-on ornaments
which may damage the bran-
ches or bark.

After Christmas — you
must move a living tree out-

doors gradually. Move it
from your warm house to a
cooler basement, portch or
garage before moving it right
outside. The tree can be kept
in a pot or tub all year. If you
choose to do this make sure
the tree is watered carefully
and remember that potted
plants dry out quicker than
those in the garden.

If you want to plant the
tree out of doors wait until
the danger of frost is past,
then dig a hole generously
larger than the rootbali. If
the tree is in sacking, leave
the sacking on the rootball
but cut a few slashes in it.
Place the tree in the hole and
carefully cut away the top of
the sacking. Fill in the hole
tamping it down as you go to
make sure the roots will be in
contact with the soil. Soak
the newly planted tree well
with water but avoid
fertilizers.

A Christmas
open house

SANTA couldn’t make it,
but he asked his friend the
magic clown Rainbow Sky to
come instead — to the annual
Christmas Open House at the
Lynn Valley Branch of North
Vancouver District Library.
There will be music and
refreshments from 2-5 p.m.
on Tuesday, December 20,
and Rainbow Sky will be

there between 2:30 and 3:30
p-m. Drop in for a cup of
coffee and a moment to relax
from your busy Christmas
schedule.
