And I'm sure the annual tradition of the English complaining it looks a little sad compared to last year's will continue as well.
Click on the
trafalgar squaretag to see that in action through the Tildes years. 🙂So the tree species that is usually sent, as far as I am aware of, is Norwegian Spruce. It does indeed have droopy foliage. Or whatever the name is for the green parts of those trees. Escpecially compared to other kinds of spruce.
However, the trees sent are usually gorgeous examples of whatever type of tree it is. Saying that as someone that lives surrounded by much less gorgeous examples of Norwegian Spruce.
I love the tradition of both us sending, and the English showing love by ribbing on it.
Halifax and Boston have a similar tradition.
This reminded me of the Gävlebocken's existence by random association.
Thank you!
