Caring for Your Live Christmas Tree: Tips to Keep It Fresh

Once you’ve chosen your perfect tree, it’s essential to care for it properly to keep it looking and smelling fresh throughout the season. Here’s a simple guide to ensure your tree stays as beautiful as the day you brought it home. We also include a watering funnel, and a tree saucer/floor protector, to help keep your floors protected.

1. Set It Up Properly

• Fresh Cut: Before you leave, we’ll make a fresh cut at the base, removing about half an inch of wood. This reopens the tree’s pores, allowing it to absorb water more effectively.
• Sturdy Stand: Choose a sturdy, stable tree stand that can hold enough water for the size of your tree. Most trees need about a gallon of water per day, so make sure your stand can hold at least that much. If you bring your own stand or purchase one from us we’ll attach it for you too, at no extra charge. Try the Davis tree stand, the best and last tree stand you’ll ever buy.
• Accessories: We also have watering funnels, and a tree saucer/floor protectors, to help keep your floors protected.

2. Hydrate Regularly

• Water Daily: Your tree should never go without water, as a dry tree will lose needles and quickly lose its fragrance. Check the water level daily to keep it at least an inch above the base.

3. Placement Matters

• Avoid Heat Sources: To prevent premature drying, place your tree away from heat sources like fireplaces, radiators, and direct sunlight. A cooler spot will help it stay fresh longer.
• Lower Room Temperature: If possible, keeping the room a bit cooler can help preserve the tree’s moisture and fragrance.

4. Preserve That Fresh Scent

• Ventilation: Ensure your room has adequate ventilation to keep air circulating around the tree, which helps keep the scent fresh and prevents stale air from affecting its smell.
• Avoid Scented Sprays: If you love the natural smell of your tree, steer clear of artificial tree sprays or scents, as these can mask or clash with the tree’s own fragrance.
