Many Tapatios are entering the Christmas season with an ecological as well as festive focus.
A business giving them the opportunity to rent a living pine tree and have it delivered to their doorsteps is proving to be “very popular,” says Luis Cisneros, manager of the Vive Pino branch on Guadalajara’s Avenida Tepeyac.
Vive Pino has opened two temporary outlets in the metro area to rent out the trees.
The seven-to-eight-year-old trees were cultivated in the State of Mexico near Toluca from Canadian Douglas Fir seeds. They were then potted and moved to a nursery in Tapalpa, where they will be cared for and rented out for the next few winters, until they become too tall and are ready for reforestation.
Vive Pino rents a 2.20-meter tall tree for 1,200 pesos, and a 1.90-meter tree for 1,000 pesos.
