Tips to care for your christmas tree

Your Christmas tree isn’t just décor—it’s the heart of your holiday celebrations. Follow these essential tips to keep your tree fresh and vibrant all season long!

1. Fresh Cut is Vital  

Before you set your tree in its stand, saw off **a couple of inches** from the trunk’s base. This simple step removes the sap that seals the pores, allowing your tree to soak up water more efficiently. If you’d rather leave it to the experts, we’re happy to make the cut for you at our lot.

2. Hydration is Key  

A freshly cut tree can drink nearly **one gallon of water in 24 hours**! Always fill your tree stand with water and ensure the level never drops below the base. Regularly check and refill the stand—keeping your tree hydrated is the single most important factor in prolonging its freshness.

3. Optimal Indoor Placement  

To preserve its beauty, position your tree away from heating ducts, fireplaces, or any other heat sources. A cooler indoor environment helps reduce needle drop and keeps your tree looking lush throughout the season.

4. Keep Additives Simple  

While some add a dash of aspirin or a spoonful of sugar to the water, our advice is to let water do its magic. (Save the aspirin for holiday headaches and the sugar for cookie recipes!) If you’re looking for a little extra boost, ask about our affordable tree food water additive available at the lot.

By following these tips, you’ll safeguard your tree’s natural charm and enjoy its festive glow from the first twinkle of your lights until the very end of the season.
