Alexandria Seeks Donation of City Holiday Tree
If you've got a 25 to 35-foot good-looking evergreen you'd like to donate, talk to the city.
The City of Alexandria has begun its annual search for a Colorado Blue Spruce, Leyland Cypress or other well-formed evergreen tree, approximately 25 to 35 feet tall, to serve as the official 2011 Holiday Tree.
The city will remove the tree from the donor’s property in mid-November and grind the stump. The tree will be decorated and displayed at , 301 King St., throughout the holiday season.
The city’s Holiday Tree will be lighted during the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 25, at Market Square. The ceremony will feature a visit by Santa Claus, along with entertainment and caroling.
Anyone interested in donating a tree to the city should call City Arborist John Noelle at 703-746-5499 or john.noelle@alexandriava.gov.
