Cut Christmas Tree Care

Store your cut tree in a bucket of warm water in a cool, wind free area, such as an unheated garage until it is ready to be brought indoors.

Prior to placing in a water-holding tree stand, make a fresh cut approximately 1” on the bottom of the trunk to aid in water uptake. Keep the cut end in water at all times. A tree in a warm dry room will go through water rapidly. Check the water level daily.

Avoid placing a tree near hot or cold drafts which promotes needle drop.

For disposal; Cut up into evergreen boughs and place on top of perennials or low growing plants. This provides protection, especially in late winter.
