Just-in-time and on-site promotion

New Year's and New Year's celebrations always attract attention and are debated. Some object to notions that New Year's celebrations are a Turkish invention or that Santa Claus lives in Anatolia, claiming they are a "Christian invention." However, if everyone is looking for a reason, they should attribute it to themselves and enjoy the way they want. The Christmas tree placed at the intersection in Ödemiş city center by the Ödemiş Municipality and the SS Ödemiş Nursery Ornamental Plants Production and Marketing Cooperative has attracted considerable attention. We congratulate those who have facilitated this timely plant promotion in a region where trees are grown. Furthermore, conifers, also known as Christmas trees, are grown in the plateaus around Ödemiş, such as Gölcük, Su Batan, Bozdağ, and Yeniköy. It's also worth remembering that similar trees are also grown and exported in Bursa, Ordu, and Samsun.

Christmas trees in the world…  

The Christmas tree is an important symbol for Christmas celebrations. If a cut spruce, fir, or pine is unavailable, an artificial tree is also used. Communities devoted to this tradition passionately celebrate this ceremonial event. For example, in England, the Norway spruce (Picea abies) was used as the traditional cut Christmas tree for many years. However, in recent years, the conical and softer Nordmandian fir (Abies nordmanniana) has become more popular.
