Pick The Right Christmas Tree With These Tips
Start with a fresh tree. If the needles snap, they are too dry. Fresh needles should bend, not break. Some loss of needles inside the tree is common. Check the height of the ceiling in the room where you will display your tree. Select a tree that is at least 1foot shorter than the ceiling height.
Avoid a tree that has a wilted look. Make sure the trunk of the tree is straight. The trunk should be 6 to 8 inches long to allow placement in the tree stand.
Check the tree for insects. When you get your tree home, make a fresh cut, take off 1 inch from the trunk and place the tree in fresh water immediately. Your stand should always contain plenty of water. This will reduce loss of needles.
