A live Christmas tree is the heart of the holiday season.
Nothing gets you in the holiday spirit like picking your own live Christmas tree that will bring warmth and cheer to your house. So, you’ll want to make sure that it stays both bright and fresh through all the festivities. After all, a live Christmas tree is the heart of the holiday season. Read on for some tips on preserving your Christmas tree to keep it both fresh and green!
Which Preservative Ingredients Should Be Used on Your Christmas Tree?
Many people wonder if they should use warm or cold weather for Christmas trees. The fact is water is water, and it does not matter. Cut down trees will soak up as much H2O as they can get, so you don’t have to worry about fiddling with water temperature since they aren’t picky at all. Instead, what you should be measuring is the amount of water you are putting in your tree. Live Christmas trees are usually parched after being brought inside your home. They’re capable of drinking up to an entire gallon of water in one day.
The smartest way to keep your Christmas tree fresh all holiday season long is to find a tree stand that holds around one gallon of water. During the first two weeks of you owning the tree, it will require more water, so check it at least twice every day to make sure the stand isn’t ever empty. After that, check it once a day.
Should You Add Aspirin in Your Christmas Tree Water?
Additions like honey, aspiring, bleach, and corn syrup have all been tried to improve tree health over the years. But our arborist team says there aren’t any real benefits to adding any of the above. Tap water is all your tree will need. Instead, focus on keeping the tree hydrated and see if you can improve the water uptake. Give Harford Tree a call today to learn how we can help!
