What a tedious and exacting job, trimming the trees JB. They sure do a nice job. I could never be hired cause once I start cutting, it's hard to stop!
Duh! Of course you couldn't use the trimmings to make wreathes if they are trimmed in August.
Your large wreath is beautiful. We had two huge wreath frames someone just dumped on our back yard. Probably about the size of yours. We used garland to wrap and put lights on. We used to have an old Victorian house with a beautiful third floor to hang in outside. I wish I could have afforded live branches. We gave one of the frames to our neighbors because they have an old Victorian as well. Not sure if they use it anymore. We moved to a rancher so it won't work here. Gave it to my son but they have yet to use it either. Some time I will make it up and hang it and surprise them.
Oh, one year we did it up and hung it at my other son's. They don't decorate for Christmas so we wanted them to have something. They never took it down. We finally had to go over in July and remove it.
