TREE CARE

How to Care for
Your Christmas Tree

A few simple steps will help your fresh-cut Fraser Fir
stay beautiful throughout the season.

  • Water Right Away

    Place your tree in its stand and add water as soon as possible after delivery. A fresh tree will begin taking up water right away.

  • Keep It Watered

    Check your tree stand every day and keep it filled with fresh water. Never let the water level fall below the base of the trunk.

  • Keep It Cool

    Choose a place for your tree away from fireplaces, heating vents, and other heat sources. A cooler room helps your tree retain moisture and stay fresh longer.

  • Use LED Lights

    LED Christmas lights produce significantly less heat than traditional incandescent lights, helping prevent your tree from drying out.

  • Plain Water Is Best

    There's no need to add sugar, aspirin, plant food, or other additives to your tree stand. Fresh, plain tap water is all your tree needs.

  • Watch for Dryness

    Check your tree throughout the season. Brittle branches, dry needles, or excessive needle shedding are signs that the tree is beginning to dry out.
