How To Care For Your Tree
With proper care, you can maintain the quality of your tree. Below are several tips on caring for your tree:
Once home, place the tree in water as soon as possible.
Important: Make a fresh cut to remove about a 1/2-inch thick disk of wood from the base of the trunk before putting the tree in a bucket of water or the tree stand.
Keep it watered! Check the tree stand daily to make sure the level of water does not go below the base of the tree. Keeping the tree stand full of water will help to ensure the longevity of your holiday tree.
A fresh Christmas tree may absorb as much as a gallon or more of water in the first 24 hour period and several quarts in the following days.
If the base of the tree is allowed to dry out, a new sap seal will form, preventing the intake of water to the tree.
Trees prefer to be in a cool environment. Keep trees away from direct sources of heat (fireplaces, heaters, heat vents, and direct sunlight).
Unplug the tree lights at night and when you leave the home.
