4 tips for taking care of your Christmas Tree

Home | Gardening | 4 tips for taking care of your Christmas Tree
To keep your tree (and other holiday greens) as fresh as possible all season long, we recommend the following:
  • Give the trunk a fresh cut (we’re happy to do this for you when you purchase a tree from us).
  • Use a water stand and check water level daily. Water should fill the stand almost to the top. Trees get thirsty.
  • Use an anti-transpirant such as Wilt Pruf. Be sure it’s in a shady location if keeping your tree outdoors before bringing into the house.
  • Always keep your tree away from hot, sunny windows, heating registers and fireplaces.
