I bet all those ornaments were super-breakable, too! Looks like the ones in my early photos. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 31, 2018 @Lagie most were indeed super breakable (lost most of them some year later when the tree fell down) but some aren't and are still alive... well in one piece Share this post Link to post

Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) This is the only photo with an evergreen I could find! I guess I don't take many photos of trees. Edited January 3, 2019 by Alectrona Share this post Link to post
Posted January 6, 2019 This variety of conifer is known as the Artificialis prelux or the "Common Pre-Lit." Despite the use of "common" in its name, these trees are rarely spotted outside the month of December, when they put on elaborate displays, assumed to be a sort of mating ritual.
