[Native Gardening] Hilton Pond 11/23/10 ("True" Christmas Trees)

 

Although we try to stay away from controversial topics in our "This Week at Hilton Pond" musings, the current installment takes on the challenge of determining what might be the "true" Christmas tree. You may disagree, but we contend it's a fir and to prove it provide lots of images and natural history tidbits about a popular holiday tree native to North Carolina mountains. To view our (somewhat tardy) photo essay for 23-30 November 2010, please visit http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek101123.html

While there, don't forget to scroll down for a list of birds banded during the period, some miscellaneous nature notes, and an acknowledgement for folks who made recent contributions in support of Hilton Pond Center or Operation RubyThroat.

Again, "This Week at Hilton Pond" is now "Tweetable," so if you have a Twitter account and like what you read, please pass it on by clicking the "Tweet" button at the end of the installment. You also can follow us via @hiltonpond .

Happy Nature Watching!
