Caring for Your Christmas Tree

Water is Key

• Freshly cut trees are over 50% water. Use a stand that holds 1 quart of water per inch of trunk diameter.

• Make a fresh, straight cut (2 inch off the base) before placing the tree in water.

Tree Stand Tips

• Use a stand that fits the tree; don’t shave the trunk.

• Keep the water level above the tree’s base. Refill daily.

Placement & Care

• Keep trees away from heat sources (fireplaces, heaters, sunlight). Lower room temperature to reduce drying.

• Use LED or low-heat lights to minimize drying.

Safety & Maintenance

• Inspect and replace damaged light sets.

• Avoid overloading circuits, and turn off lights when unattended.

• Remove the tree once it’s dry or after Christmas.

Pro Tips

• Water temperature doesn’t matter.

• Trees can last 15 minutes after cutting before being placed in water. Store in a cool area if needed.

Enjoy a fresh and safe holiday tree!
