Recycling Christmas trees could benefit everybody GUELPH - Many Canadian cities recycle Christmas trees by chop- ping them up to use as mulch, but Ron Kelly, supervisor of the Uni- versity of Guelph Arboretum, sug- gests going on step further. He .says a recycling program for live treks could benefit everybody -- con- sumers, the nursery industry and the environment. A small spruce, pine or fir tree can be brought indoors for up to two weeks without breaking its nat- ural dormancy, says Kelly. He and other technicians at the university's Arttoretum have been testing the theory for several years. Conifers up to a metre in height are dug and potted up in late fall.

Thank you for your patronage. Tim and Chris Wilcox 109 King St., Hensall 262-2726 r doors, the root systems are kl'pt moist, says Kelly. After Christ- mas, the trees are planted outdoors again in a pre -dug hole that has been filled with leaves to keep the soil from freezing. "The transplant- ed trees are healthy and have contin- ued to grow normally the following year," he says. A ,potted Scots pine one metre tall would cost as much as a cut pine more than twice the size, but "the live tree will provide benefit to your home and garden for years to come," says Kelly. Evergreen trees are natural air conditioners in sum- mer and insulators in winter. A recycling program for live trees would be a great project for a municipality, or service club to un- dertake, suggests Kelly.• People who don't want to replant the tree on their own property could donate it to a city park or a project to plant trees along an expressway. The Christmas tree industry al- ready has the expertise needed to produce "live" Christmas trees and could benefit from -the demand for a new product, he says. Conifers could be transplanted into peat pots in spring for potential sale at Christmas, making them easy to handle and transplant. - Frjom both an environment%) and an economic point 'of view, recy- cling live Christmas trees makes sense, says Kelly. It could also provide a unique learning and shar- ing experience for families an com- munities.
