Caring For Your Tree
Remember a Christmas tree is a living thing, care for it as carefully as you would a cut flower. Once you select a Christmas tree follow these suggestions to keep it fresh and safe!
If you buy your tree several days before it will be set up and decorated, store the tree outdoors or on a cool porch or patio until you are ready to decorate. An area that provides protections from the wind or sun will help the tree retain its moisture.
Before you bring your tree indoors, cut an inch off the butt of the tree and place in water within the hour. This opens the tree stem so it can take up water. Store the tree upright and place the butt end in a container of water.
Trees are thirsty. They may drink several litres of water per day so make sure to check daily and supply fresh water as needed. A stand which holds at lease a gallon of water is recommended. If you allow the water level to drop below the trunk, a seal will form just as it does on a cut flower, and a new cut will be necessary.
Place the tree away from fireplaces, radiators, TV sets and other heat sources. Turn off the tree lights when you leave your home and before you retire at night.
Avoid use of combustible decorations. Check all electric lights and connections. Do not use lights with worn or frayed cords and never use lighted candles.

How do I pick a fresh tree?
Aren't lots of pesticides used in the growing of Christmas trees?
Christmas trees are a naturally pesticide-free crop. Trees attract the birds and wildlife that naturally keep the pest population in check.
Aren't you removing oxygen from the air if you cut down a tree?
Aren't real trees a fire hazard?
Carelessness causes the fire- overloaded electrical outlets and faulty wiring are usually the cause. Both are likely to burn. A few good tips for choosing a real tree can be found above. Be sure to consider cutting your own tree so you can ensure it hasn’t been sitting unwatered, and be sure to water your tree well.
What gets put into the air during the manufacturing of an artificial tree?
Air pollution and waste from industrial by products.
Don't real trees end up in the landfill too?
Perhaps some do, but if you take living more green seriously you will recycle your real tree. Trees can be composted and turned into mulch. No matter what, an artificial tree is going to end up in a landfill. While tree manufacturers push the fact that an artificial tree will last 15 years stats show most people only keep theirs for 6 years.
