A SHADE FORLORN



We spotted these Christmas trees in Queen Street today. Hopefully they haven't been too badly damaged by the adverse conditions and can be re-hung at a later date.

  1. Nothing wrong there, Scribs.
    It's a rare species of an Australian Christmas tree (antipodus erectus).

    They're especially useful when floor space is limited - you can hang them from the ceiling.

    One distinct advantage is that you can easily vacuum fallen needles from the ceiling

    Some folks, however, prefer its cousin - paries parietis (house wall fir) - a horizonal variety that shouldn't, for health and safety reasons, be hung at eye-level.
