Christmas Tree Farm in Mozambique?

Here in Vila Ulongwe, the agriculture department grows pine trees as wind breaks for their gardens. They were happy to let us have a tree but since most of them were two years old we had to cut the tree down and then cut off about ten feet of bare trunk to get to the bushy part of the tree.

The tree is now in our house. I’ll put up a photo of it once we get it decorated.
