Tips & Tricks

Water generously: Get your tree into water as soon as you get it home. Stands with a capacity of at least a gallon or more are recommended. Check water levels every day and make sure the water reaches the base of the tree. Plain tap water is best, no additives needed.

Avoid hot spots: Hot air from vents or windows with a southern exposure can dry out your tree faster. A cool spot near a functioning outlet is best.

Check your cords: Make sure all light strings, extension cords, village lights, etc. are in good condition without fraying or wear. Turn off lights when you are out of the house. Plug-in timers are an easy way to manage lighting.

Recycle: Many cities have programs for recycling Christmas trees and may even pick them up off your curb. Call your city or check their official website for more information.
