Birmingham Company opening ‘new branches' and sprucing up their image !

A Birmingham business owner is using Xmas as an opportunity to grow Xmas trees, rather than chop them down.

Ray Woods whose Company provides Business Development and PR Support to other companies, is sending his customers, a Norwegian Spruce sapling for planting.

He told us,
‘ This year, we will be sending Norwegian Spruce seedlings to our customers, rather than Xmas cards.

Apparently, the Norwegian Spruce was native to Britain before the ice age and was re-introduced in the 1500’s. It is a quick growing tree and I am told that a mature tree can provide an important wood, called White Deal.

The idea was suggested to me by Simon Greenfield whose Birmingham Company is supplying them in early December. They come pre-packed in a shipping tube that protects the roots.

I thought that it was a great idea. Christmas has become something of an orgy of destruction - with both the chopping down of Xmas trees and the sending of millions of cards that only last for a few weeks.

It is great to think that some of these trees could still be here, long after we’ve gone.’
