Choosing your perfect real Christmas tree is an exciting task and once you have made the important decision, you want your tree to last for as long as possible. It’s important to keep your tree healthy over the Christmas period and to keep it looking smart and in good shape. Knowing how to care for your tree can be the key difference between a full and healthy tree or a sad looking tree. Our Christmas Tree Care Guide will inform you on everything you need to know when purchasing a real Christmas Tree.
These are our four key tips to keep your tree looking its very best.
- Ensure you saw off a couple inches from the base of the tree to open the pores, allowing a greater water uptake.
- A freshly cut tree can consume a gallon of water in 24 hours. We recommend using a water stand and keep the water level above the base of the trunk.
- Keep your tree away from direct heat where possible.
- To give your pot grown tree the best chance of growing in the garden, simply plant at the correct depth and remember to keep well watered.
