Become an Ohop Adventurer and dive into the life cycle of a Christmas tree.
Have you ever wondered what all has to happen in order for you to bring home that perfect Christmas tree every year??
Where does it actually come from?
How does it get planted?
Who takes care of it?
How long does it take to grow?
How does it get its shape?
What happens if it gets too tall to be a Christmas tree?!?
