Tiny Christmas trees that bear a likeness to Charlie Brown's scraggly tree in the cartoon Christmas classic are proving to be a popular item for a Fredericton-area tree farmer.

David Kirkpatrick of Lo-Hi Christmas Tree Farm has soldmore than 300 of his "Mini Trees" this year.

"They get excited when they see them," said Kirkpatrick.

"Just 50-year-old men getting excited to have this little tree and he can't wait to go home with it and have it in his man cave."

They're also popular with youngsters, such asOlivia Davidson, 4,as it's the perfect size for little ones.
