We actually did that one year when our kids were little, what a pain in the Ass!! At least in a cold weather state it is.Buy the tree, acclimate it to garage (barn) temp.for a week,take in house for about a week at most, back to barn for a week to re-acclimate(oh ya and don't foget to dig hole before ground freezes or.....) put tree in hole and hope like hell it lives. Ya great idea (NOT) lol
