In childhood we used to have another type of Christmas Tree at my parents&#8217; home which we used to decorate during Christmas day. This one is a Lemon Cypress plant which we had planted in an eighteen inch garden pot last year. It is growing well and hopefully we can decorate it with colourful twinkling lights during Christmas time to be a real live Christmas Tree this year. My aim is not to go for the usual plastic Christmas &#8216;Tree&#8217; bought over the counter and to have a real green Christmas Tree. If I use solar lanterns, this could be also a green energy one!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3127\" src=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/horticulture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/A-\u2018Green-Christmas-Tree-Getting-Ready.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1201\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/horticulture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/A-\u2018Green-Christmas-Tree-Getting-Ready.jpg 1201w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/horticulture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/A-\u2018Green-Christmas-Tree-Getting-Ready-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/horticulture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/A-\u2018Green-Christmas-Tree-Getting-Ready-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/horticulture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/A-\u2018Green-Christmas-Tree-Getting-Ready-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1201px) 100vw, 1201px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A \u2018Green\u2019 Christmas Tree Getting Ready!
