Mrs H usually does a preemptive sweep of the property in late fall and ties red ribbons on evergreens that look promising. Dr H goes out in mid-December, assesses the beribboned candidates, then uses a hand saw to liberate the winner from its roots (if you look closely, you can see Dr H behind the tree with his saw, and Cedar the dog resting quietly in the background; the cat followed us too, but she's very adept at avoiding paparazzi):
