Reply to comment by monkeyhind in Split-in-half artificial Christmas tree proves a festive hit by diacewrb

I have a big ass house and this still seems like a good idea. We’ve always had our tree either near a wall or in a corner where there’s always dead space in back. Only problem is my wife and kids like the real trees.

I wonder if you can actually do something like that. Just need to epoxy the cut or something. Or at least remove the back branches altogether. Make wreaths out of them or something.

Last year I went with a friend to get a real tree from federal land that allows cutting for a $5 permit. We got it from a windy part of the forest edge, and about half the trees were bare on one side. That’s where I’m going to go get my tree this year. Of course an easier option is just to buy one and prune the branches off of one side

Atleast where I live they often times sell "Lopsided" trees cheap. We used to get those for christmas because we couldn't afford a pretty ones :3

I had to deal with that until I said “I am not cleaning up nor taking care of the tree this year”. Next Year? Boom, artificial tree with changing color lights that the kids love.

I just do the cutting and putting it up and take away. I let the kids decorate and stuff.
