Our Vintage Tree
Here is our vintage tree. Its a Balsom Fir that I planted 12 years ago along with 299 others. My goal was to have our own Christmas trees. You see we like the natural, unpruned trees. Most commercial tree farms prune the trees so that they are perfect and filled in with no spaces. I collect vintage Christmas decorations and want my tree to look natural and vintage. So, to get that look, either I had to go find one in the woods or grow my own. Its paid off and now I will have my own trees for some time to come.
The tree has 51 C-7 lights on vintage, Noma strings with the red and green wire. We use older GE and Westinghouse bulbs along with a few bubblers and aluminum reflectors. Notice that ther isn't any tinsel at the bottom. We have cats and you cat owners know what they do with tinsel. Anyways, enjoy.
