Simply..nature's gift....

23/12/2017

It all began around 2010 when a little seed germinated in the top of an old fence post...

Somehow it survived and eventually put down a root which reached the soil, since when it has grown more rapidly... and now makes this year's Christmas tree!

The little 'crystal' ornaments are actually quite sparkly (will try to get a better photograph tomorrow...).

That is amazing! Just shows you that nature will find a way to do its thing--always. Nice, live Christmas tree for you to decorate.

When we went to our usual place to buy a tree they were sold out, so this substituted nicely!

taking advantage (in a good way) of what nature provides.
Merry Christmas!

It is invisible at night Julia! Maybe next year if it is still there I will find lights for it....Merry Christmas!

Just love this Freda - a volunteer Christmas tree! I wonder if it's the only one in existence...
