Cut your own Christmas Tree Experience 2026!

* Cutting the end off the tree right before placing in stand is very important!  Make a straight cut and immediately place in WARM TAP water.

*  Place the tree in a large stand that can hold at least a gallon of water.

*  Always keep the base of the tree in water. If the base dries out, the sap will seal the base and the tree will not be able to absorb water and will dry out quickly. 

*  Using miniature and LED lights produce less heat and will extend the life of the tree.

*  Fresh cut trees should last four to five weeks before drying out if properly cared for. Some species keep their needles longer than others.
