Making Your Tree Last

Once you’ve chosen your beautiful tree from our xmas tree farm, it’s important to care for it properly to ensure it lasts throughout the holiday season. Here are some tips:

Proper Watering

After bringing your tree home, cut about an inch off the trunk to allow it to absorb water. Place it in a sturdy stand and fill it with water. Remember to check the water level daily and refill as necessary to keep your tree hydrated.

Avoiding Heat Sources

Keep your tree away from direct heat sources such as fireplaces, heating vents, or sunlight. This will prevent it from drying out too quickly, preserving its beauty and fragrance for the entire season.

Regular Cleaning

Remember to vacuum around the tree base regularly to maintain cleanliness and reduce needle drop. This will keep your festive area clean and welcoming.

The Environmental Impact of Choosing a Real Tree

One of the main arguments for artificial trees is environmental impact; however, real xmas trees offer numerous ecological benefits:

• Sustainable Farming: Xmas tree farms are cultivated specifically for this purpose, which means for every tree harvested, more are planted. This promotes a cycle of sustainability.
• Carbon Absorption: Trees naturally absorb carbon dioxide, which helps to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
• Habitat Creation: Xmas tree farms provide habitats for local wildlife, contributing to biodiversity.
• Biodegradability: After the holiday season, real trees can be recycled into mulch or compost, enriching the soil instead of cluttering landfills.
