Forty live trees donated by the Shade Tree Commission have lined Witherspoon and Nassau streets this holiday season, all “festively fostered” and decorated by local businesses and groups. The tree adorned by Princeton Charter School, shown here, received the most votes, for the second year in a row, in the Best Decorated Tree Contest. The runners-up are the Arts Council of Princeton and Rutgers Master Gardeners of Mercer County. After the holidays, the trees will be planted in area parks. (Photo by Charles R. Plohn)
