As much as I love a real tree they are so messy and very expensive so I but something alive that will last for years...or until it out grows the apartment.
In the UK there's a company that rents out the trees. It gets delivered in a pot, you use it, then they collect it and re-plant it. You can even have the same tree the following year (accepting it may be a little bigger).
Apparently it works, and they don't have any problem with dead trees. No idea what it costs.
We always take our (live) tree to our local park, they have people on site year round to chop and chip trees to make mulch for the playground and local schools.
I love watching for thrown out Christmas trees. My hand to God, I've seen one sitting on the curb in April. Hoarder? Forgotten in the basement? This is Manhattan. People don't have backyards for mulching.
dumb
