      where is a good spot to buy fresh christmas tree's in the clinton hill / ft. greene neighborhood?

      thanks so much!
    2. Hmm. "Fresh"? Not sure.

      I've gotten them at the corner of Hall & Myrtle but they're not the freshest trees, although they do a good enough job standing in the living room and holding up ornaments.

      Potted trees only make sense if you have a place to plant them later.

      I hear you.

      I guess my only thought is that the trees are planted to be harvested. It's not like they're tearing down the rainforests.

      I believe you can compost the trees later. I think Greenmarket has a collection after the holidays.

      Greenmarket probably has a collection...and NYC Parks Dept sponsors a mulching program in January.

      They're selling them on the sidewalk on Myrtle - i think near Bank of America.

      You can buy them at the party shop on Fulton between Ft. Green Place & St. Felix. There is a city composting program which takes place in Fort Greene Park.
