When evergreens are left out to pasture, they do not thrive well. Many locals sneak up to the farm and cut their own since no one is paying any attention. Joke's on them, though. Trees that aren't manicured properly by a farmer look really misshapen when put inside on a stand. But hey, free tree. I rent a cottage on a former Christmas Tree farm.
