When you go to a nursery you also have the opportunity to take a specimen with the trunk cut, this will allow easy transport and light, but it is a rather cruel and wasteful practice, because in this case the tree can be used for only one festivities. It would be better to orient the choice of a plant with roots, which can be put in the balcony after use and troublesome every year, in this way you will have great respect for nature and for your pockets. And then a plant loses more quickly severed needles, as they wither.

Finally, the choice is based also on the size of the specimen. A plant too high and luxuriant require attention and a lot of work for the decoration, and you'll style with ornaments of adequate proportions in the size and number of items, if you do not want to risk making vain operations of decoration.Ornaments are too small and too far away will make your tree sad and barren. A smaller specimen, however, will have shorter legs but also more robust and will hold up to the weight of the vestments without seeming falling and it will be easier to fill themselves.
