It’s important to remember you should never burn a tree in your fireplace or stove. Live trees are extremely flammable and can cause a flare-up or chimney fire. Also, do not feed your tree to any animals. Whether an indoor pet or farm animal, trees can be mildly toxic and pine needles, if consumed, can cause intestinal irritation or puncture.
