GENERAL TREE CARE TIPS
- Place tree away from heaters, heater vents and fireplaces, keep the temperature as low as possible in the room that you display your tree in.If placing the tree in front of a south facing window, keep the curtains drawn.
- Place plastic sheeting (plastic garbage bag will do) on floor where tree will be placed.
- Always carry the tree with the butt leading, holding the tree with the trunk or large lower branches. Do not carry the tree from the extreme tip top as this may break the tip.
- If you are transporting your tree home on the top of your vehicle, make sure that the butt of the tree is toward the front of the vehicle at the windshield and the top is at the rear bumper.
- Do not carry the tree using the stand as this can loosen the stand.
- To re-position your Christmas Tree, use the bottom branches at the base of the tree to gently tug the tree into position.
- If your tree needs to be straightened, it would be easier for two people to do this, loosen the stand screws that are in the direction that the tree needs to move to, then tighten the opposite screws while the second person holds the tree in place, then make sure all screws are tightened.
- Place WATER in stand as soon as possible. Check water level often.
- Install a tree watering tube. They are a low cost item available for sale at most tree lots. A watering tube allows you to add water without removing the tree skirt and some models have a “dipstick” that allows you to check the water level without getting under the tree.
- Make sure that all electrical light cords are in good condition. Do not overload electrical circuits.
- Avoid using the larger type Christmas lights (the ones your grandparents used) on your Christmas tree. Mini LED’s stay the coolest.
- Lights should be turned off when you leave your residence. Avoid using candles on trees.
- Enjoy your Christmas Tree – it was especially planted for your enjoyment. It provided oxygen while it was growing and will serve as a soil conditioner if you have it RECYCLED after Christmas.
- While enjoying your tree, have eggnog (brandy added of course) in hand and sing Christmas carols heartily.
