Caring for Your Christmas Tree
How we have cared for your tree
Growing a quality tree is one of the most labor intensive farm crops. To assure that you have beautiful Christmas tree for your holiday enjoyment, here's the life story of your tree:
Planted it as a 2-3 year old transplant.- Watered it if necessary during the first 2-3 years.
- Mowed or sprayed around it to keep the weeds down.
- Fertilized it annually (Spruce and Fir) from about 3’ high to sale.
- Sheared (trimmed and shaped) it each year from about 3’ high to sale, to give it fullness and taper.
- Sprayed it as necessary to control a variety of diseases and pests.
- Greened it (if a pine) to maintain its lush summer coloration (pines turn pale in the fall from a lack of chlorophyll as temps drop below freezing).
- Shook it after cutting to remove any dead needles and baled it (size/temp permitting) to facilitate transport and setup.
- Tied it on your car.
How you must now care for it
- When placing in stand make a fresh cut (about 1”) to remove any sap seal and allow the tree to take up water.
- Immediately place in water and keep water level above base of tree at all times.
- Place away from direct heat, especially wood stoves and fireplaces.
- Keep the humidity at 60-70% (for your comfort as well).
- Decorate and enjoy!
- Be sure and send us a photo.
