This morning Scott Hall talked with Eli Sagor from My Minnesota Woods about the top 5 stories in Forestry in Minnesota this year. They included passage of 2c managed forest land tax classification, market downturns - community and landowner impacts, emergence of carbon markets, biomass - biomass - biomass, and the passage of the legacy amendment.
At the end of their conversation Scott asked Eli his take on a real v. artificial Christmas trees. Eli talked about his family's tradition of going out to cut a tree every year. Eli mentioned the smell being part of the allure of a real tree.

It was fun, as always, to talk to Scott yesterday. I'm glad I was able to contribute to the great Christmas tree debate!
As you noted, in my mind there's no debate--a natural tree wins hands down.
This morning I discovered a video that may be of interest to those considering Christmas tree options. A U of M Extension educator goes through several different species of Christmas trees explaining what's unique about each one. Starting at about 2:15, she weighs in on the "great debate" as well. Enjoy!
