Holiday Plants for the Urban Gardener: Norfolk Island Pine

As an apartment dweller I do not have enough room for a large sized Christmas tree :( but I do have room for this beautiful plant called the Norfolk Island Pine Tree which closely resembles a Christmas Tree. This plant is native the the South Pacific around New Zealand and as such is not able to handle cold weather. But inside the home it is a very low maintenance house plant that can live for decades and looks great all year round. And during the holidays, just add a few ornaments and badaboom you have your own mini Christmas tree.
