Rockefeller Charlie Brown Tree

Seems right

That Prometheus statue at Rockefeller Center always reminds me of the intro to Parasite Eve

Every tree looks shitty when you're getting it up. Wait until they have it trimmed, opened up and decorated

I say just drop a pile of lights on one side, pour some tinsel on top. Really lean into the 2020 theme.

If we were doing that we would have just doused it in gas and set it on fire

Was the Giant Christmas Trees for Plazas and Pretentious Pricks lot just picked over already?

or you could have left the tree where it was and it would have been very fine

I'm sure it was happier with roots attached.

This is normal, the will fill it in with branches trimmed from another tree. I was really surprised when I saw them do it

I've often wondered the same thing. Seems nonsensical to find and cut down a beautiful tree each year

4 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Real answer, I think the root system would need to be absolutely massive and probably cause problems.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

We have trees everywhere in my city. Probably cost less to deal with the roots them this bullshit every year too.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's more about implanting them--a root system can be as big as a tree, and the infrastructure and possible subway underneath may be trouble

I mean, I have atleast 200 in my back yard this size, mixed in with 5 to 10 thousand trees of other types. There's no shortage.

But will you let them cut a new one down each year? Thats valueble forestry preventing sink holes

I agree and can think of a dozen big spruce trees that are growing in open fields (so filled out) within a 5 min drive and I'm 1hr from nyc.
