It's important that you care for your Christmas Tree so it lasts throughout the Christmas Season.  Keep your tree in a cool shady place, like a porch or a garage until you are ready to bring it indoors.  Keep it in water if possible.  If it goes without water for more than 4-6 hours before you bring it inside make a fresh cut off the trunk. This will allow the tree to drink water once it is set up.  Do not do this if your tree was drilled. This will interfere with the depth of the drilled hole and your tree will no longer stand correctly in the stand.  If our team forgot to drill your tree, please do not attempt to drill it yourself. The drill bit is tapered to allow your tree to stand. Please bring it back and we will drill it During the first few days, your tree will drink a lot of water.  Make sure the tree does not go dry.  If dry for more than 4-6 hours, the trunk seals and cannot consume anymore water.  Be sure to keep your tree away from heat:  fireplaces, television sets, computers, heat registers, etc.  Always turn your lights off when you go to bed or leave your house.  If you find spiders in your tree (we do often) a simple light spray for spiders will take care of them or simply vacuum them up and continue enjoying the beauty of your tree. Remember, trees live outside and creatures do live in them. Follow these tips and your tree will stay fresh and beautiful all through the Christmas Season!
