after christmas, if you were to mulch or chip used real christmas trees, would they make good mulch. Or would they have too much nitrogien in them to make a good mulch.

Yes they can and nitrogen really isn't the concern. Its the pH of the needles that may present the prob. Neutral they are not. They are extremely acid. Some of the plants that would benefit most from this are the Rhodies and azalea families which can tolerate up to 4 " thick. Use sparingly in areas where pH may be an issue with no more than 1/4" applied. Good Luck

Mulch is a plant based material used as a ground cover and fertilizer. As the mulch breaks down is releases its chemical makeup into the soil. Obviously this takes time, so regardless of nitrogen content it will not burn your plantings.
Some people prefer mulches from evergreens in that they are less friendly to termites

The city I grew up in had a mulching program for trees after Christmas - they would pick them up at the curb, haul them away, and mulch them.

The needles and/or wood chips work well as mulch. Have a happy and healthy holiday season.

Sure. You won't end up with much mulch, but it's much better than the kind you get using artificial trees.:-)

We consistently purchase a real Christmas tree. We placed it in a tree stand and water it a minimum of as quickly as an afternoon. They drink various water and in case you do no longer water adequate it is going to dry out very rapidly. After the tree is up, we string the lights. We regularly use the multi-colour lights when you consider that that's what the little ones like. Then we hang up the decorations. finally, we hang candy canes from the tree. we've hung tinsel interior the previous, yet i do no longer possibly like it and you will discover it for weeks once you're taking down your tree.

I can't think of why they wouldn't be good as a mulch, though you might want to add a bit of lime since they will be so acidic.
