There seems to be mixed feelings in my household about the idea of making a tradition out of using one of my trees as a Christmas tree every year. Last year it was a yamadori pine that wasn't likely to survive anyway because it came up with too little root. This year if possible I'm thinking more strategically about it, and looking into the idea of getting a tree particular to the purpose.
I'm thinking podocarpus, but of course there are none available locally in my zone, so it would have to be shipped in. Most websites aren't good about the sort of shipping details I'm looking for, so thought I'd ask here.
I understand that some podocarpus are frost resistant, so would it be safe to order one now to get it in the next week or so?
What species/variety would you recommend for semi-arid USDA zone 6a if it could ship now?
Thanks!
