For the past month we have presented many trees that have the great potential of a Christmas tree. Now that the holiday has come to an end, we would like to share a couple of ways to properly dispose of your Christmas trees locally.
The City of Buffalo's Department of Public Works, Parks & Streets will have a curbside pickup of unbagged trees from January 6, 2020 until January 10, 2020 on residents’ garbage day.
For the first 2 weeks of January, Amherst, Cheektowaga, West Seneca, Lancaster, and other towns gather discarded curbside trees.
The city also provides a few drop-off options, in addition to the one-week tree pick-up.
Some of these locations include but are not limited to:
Cazenovia Park golf course parking lot, South of Seneca Street, at the foot of Wildwood
Shoshone Park parking lot, North off of Hertel, at the foot of Beard
1120 Seneca Street, Rear parking lot, Between Babcock and Smith
We hope these tree disposal tips help you and we wish you the happiest of holidays!
With Christmas just a few days away, no flower represents the Christmas spirit better than the stunning Poinsettia! The poinsettia plant was introduced to the United States from Mexico by botanist, Joel Roberts Poinsett. In honor of Joel’s death in 1851, December 12 has been declared as national Poinsettia Day! In their natural habitat, poinsettias can grow into thin, scraggly trees, reaching 10 to 15 feet tall, but by pinching them back, you can control their height!
This cone-structured tree is known as the Balsam Fir! These Christmas trees are a dark green color, sometimes with tints of silver, and have branches that are often used to make holiday wreaths. Balsam Firs are known to be one of the most fragmented trees and grow to a height of 45’-75’ and a spread of 20’-25’ at maturity.
In 1535, when Jacques Cartier sailed up the St. Lawrence River, he became the first colonist to see the White Spruces of North America. White Spruces, also known as a Canadian Spruce, can grow up to 130 feet tall with a trunk diameter of up to 3.3 feet. This pyramid-shaped Christmas tree has blue-green short needle-like leaves and hefty branches that are feasible for lights and ornaments!
