Question

Ideas for making an outdoor Christmas tree for the patio

Lifestyles Homes · Answer

Why not buy a real potted conifer? Then plant it afterwards.

I used to do this with big conifers, inside. They need to spend a week in the garage getting used to warmer temps and then in the house for a maximum of two weeks, watered moderately, sitting in a big galvanized or plastic tub.

Then back out in the garage again for a week and then planted in the pre-dug hole. Keep blankets on the earth under the tree to keep the water & dirt from freezing.

Place a large tree branch in a pot (anchored with dirt, sand or set in plaster), add ornaments for a simple, homespun Christmas tree.

Part Two: You can make a bird-feeder Christmas tree by hanging food ornaments on the branches....made with bird seed and peanut butter, popcorn balls, suet blocks, etc.
