The key to keeping your Christmas tree alive is proper care and maintenance. First, make sure to choose a fresh tree with vibrant green needles and a sturdy trunk. Once you bring the tree home, cut 1-2 inches off the bottom of the trunk and immediately place it in a bucket of water. Water the tree daily, keeping the water level just above the cut, and be sure to keep the tree away from heat sources such as radiators or fireplaces. With these simple steps, your Christmas tree will stay healthy and green for the entire holiday season!
