Nashville Searching for the Perfect Christmas Tree

Tuesday November 10, 2009

Nashville Metro Parks is asking for help in finding the perfect tree to serve as the centerpiece for the city's holiday celebration, this year.

Metro Parks' Horticulturalist Randall Lantz said the Parks Department is looking for a 30 to 40 foot Norway Spruce that looks good from all angles.
"It's really important that the tree look good all the way around because it will be viewed from all angles. We prefer for there to have been little to no pruning," explained Lantz.
The parks department prefers a tree that either needs to be removed for some reason or has outgrown its location
They will also come out and cut down the tree, grind the stump, and plant a replacement tree, if desired.

If you have or know of a tree that meets the criteria, you can call Randall Lantz at 862-8400.
The Annual Nashville Holiday Celebration is scheduled for 6 p.m. December 4 at the Metro Courthouse.
