Perfect christmas trees???

No it's not over, at least not yet.... remember there's the 12 days of Christmas. This year we had a "REAL " tree!!! It's worth every penny I spent, it gives off a nice scent. And we hung very small ornaments instead of the usual big loud ones!!! Dont want to put too much weight on the real tree!I promise myself, from now on, I'm going to get a real tree every year.

So you can imagine my excitement when I heard of Christmas tree cloning!!!! Yes... it's going to happen!!!

After years of studying the reproduction mechanism of the Caucasian fir, Germany’s most common Christmas tree variety, scientists at Berlin’s Humboldt University say they have been able to reproduce Christmas trees by cloning their seeds. Their Frankentrees, they say, will grow to be perfectly shaped, resistant to greenflies and other insects and perfectly colored — and they won’t lose needles.

Professor Kurt Zoglauer, who has been leading the research project, is quick to point out that perfection doesn’t mean that the trees will be identical. “We have developed trees with a variety of characteristics, making them all beautiful in their own way,” the botanist said in a university press release. ”Single households prefer smaller trees that fit into smaller apartments.”

The breakthrough could be a boon for the Christmas tree industry!!!
