Customer Tips...
- Make a fresh cut on the butt of the tree to eliminate the
seal and to allow the tree to absorb water. The fresh-cut surface should be
creamy-white, not yellow or brown.
- Do NOT shave the sides of the tree trunk or tree butt to fit
the tree into the tree stand.
- If the tree is not going into the house immediately, it
should be stored, with its butt in water, in a protected area where it will not freeze and
is not exposed to sun and wind.
- The Christmas tree you have selected should be protected from
freezing conditions and heat at all times to insure the best quality tree possible.
- Place the tree in a stand which will hold at least one gallon
of water. An average tree may consume between two pints and one gallon of water per
day. If the water drops below the butt, a seal will form which
does not permit the tree to take in more water. Water consumption is related
to the butt diameter and not to height.
- Place the tree away form heat sources such as vents,
fireplaces, radiators or sunny windows.
