They have to. I saw it first hand when they re-did the entrance our road and planted beautiful evergreens. By Christmas, about a third of them had become somebody's Christmas tree.

I think Biscuit, Justhangn, MainMan, Huntr and Tater have "secured" my trees against theft.

re-read the posts ... Kyle was suggesting you five-finger-discount a tree between 2-4 a.m. ... Huntr said people are spraying stinky stuff on their trees to prevent that type of "shopping" ... yada yada yada ...

No. They are spraying trees that shouldn't be cut (i.e. trees along the roadside/in neighborhoods/parks) to prevent them from being stolen.

The 2-4 a.m. shoulda been a HUGE tipoff.

For the last nine years we have gone to Wright's Tree Farm off Friendship School Road. New owner's took it over this year, so the name has been changed and I can't for the life of me remember what it is!

What is nice, is that you can go early (we went last weekend) and pick out and tag your tree and go back later for it (next weekend).
