If you choose to display a live Christmas tree this year, you’ll want to make sure it stays fresh through the entire holiday season. The last thing you want is for your tree to look lackluster in your holiday photos. If you aren’t experienced with caring for live trees, The National Christmas Tree Association offers a few suggestions for maintaining your tree.
- Keep the tree away from major sources of heat, like the fireplaces and heaters.
- Choose a tree stand which is the right size for your tree; don’t cut the base of the tree to make it fit a stand.
- Your stand should able give your tree one quart of water per one inch of trunk diameter.
- Check the water level in your tree stand daily to make sure it does not go below the base of the tree.
- Decorate your tree with lights which don’t produce a lot of heat.
