Christmas Tree Info:
- Until you’re ready to bring the tree into the house, keep it as cool as possible and in a bucket of water
- When a tree is cut, sap is secreted from the cut and seals the pores of the tree. This is the reason why you must make a fresh cut ½ inch off the trunk immediately before you put it into your stand.
- Make sure that your stand is big enough to support the tree and hold plenty of water.
- Place the tree away from sources of heat.
- Add water to the stand everyday.
- Two to three weeks is the maximum time your tree should be kept inside the house.
