A Simple Spruce Forest
for your Holiday Buffet

This little forest of Dwarf Alberta Spruce dresses your mantel, your buffet, or your front porch and it's too easy to create.

Remove the small trees from their pots and place in sandwich bags.  press the rootball to make it narrow enough to fit the container, being careful not to tear the roots.

Place scraps of foam at bottom of container to correct height of trees.  Cover opening and plastic with decorative colored sisal.  Coordinate sisal color with the bullion wire you select to decorate the small trees.  These trees were drizzled with silver and apple green bullion wire.

Keep these trees watered, but do not over-water. They will be happier if kept outdoors when not being appreciated inside.
