Are you picking out a Christmas tree this weekend? Here’s some tips to keep in mind:
.
-When selecting a tree at a farm, inspect the tree for signs of distress—brown or yellowing needles, excessive needle drop, or a crooked trunk.
.
-Bend a few needles in your hand; they should bend and not break. If they’re brittle, select a different tree. Another test is to lift a few branches and let them drop back into place. If lots of needles fall off, select a new tree.
.
-Once you get your tree home, place it in water and water it daily. A Christmas tree should get about a quart of water for every inch of trunk diameter.
.
-Be sure to place your tree in a location that’s not near a fireplace or heating vents that can dry out the tree.
