Christmas Tree Tips
- Use a container that keeps the water level at a constant level. As a rule, tree stands should allow 1 quart of water per inch of the trunk’s diameter.
- Use a stand that is appropriate for your trees’ trunk size; do not whittle the tree down to fit the trunk into a stand that is too small.
- Display your live Christmas tree away from heat sources that can dry it out prematurely.
- Check and water daily to ensure that the tree has enough water.
