If you’re waiting until this weekend or later to buy your Christmas tree – don’t...
According to forestry expert Steve Nix, choosing your tree a bit earlier will pay off in a fresher tree that will ultimately last longer. The majority of trees have been cut in mid-November. Those trees sit around in lots, crowded, manhandled and deprived of water. Now is your chance to save that tree from further trauma.
As soon as you get your tree home, you’ll want to cut 4 inches from the base of the trunk and get it into water ASAP. If you’re ready to take your tree into your house this early, you’ll need to choose a cool spot away from drafts. It may look pretty next to the fireplace but it will dry out a lot faster there.
