Storing Real Christmas Trees Before Christmas
There are also some options of storing your real tree right before the holiday season. If you have purchased a live tree a couple weeks before Christmas, it is important that you find a great way to keep it looking fresh and vibrant until a few days past Christmas, at least. Many people have the tradition of taking down their Christmas trees around New Years Eve, so you want to keep them look good for several weeks.
One of the best ways of preserving a real tree is simple, but it will require some effort. By taking your real, live Christmas tree down, and sawing off a 1/2 of the trunk, you will enable water to penetrate better into the rest of the tree. Naturally this involves taking it out of the stand, tipping it onto it's side and the manual labor of making the cut. If you get a sharp handsaw, the process will go the quickest, but you will want to think ahead of several issues. The needles that will fall off can make a mess. You will need to have a plan for the saw dust and naturally the disposal of the piece you have cut off of the Christmas Tree.
Thinking ahead on purchasing the Christmas tree can save you a ton of hassle. The earlier you buy a Christmas tree in the season, normally mean that you get a better choice as you will beat other people to the punch. Waiting until a few days before Christmas may mean that your tree looks more like the tree on Charlie Brown's Christmas show. Making an arrangement with the Christmas tree supplier would be a simple solution. Pre-paying for your tree and making a selection before hand, while making specific arrangements of when you will pick up your tree will keep everyone happy and keep your Christmas Tree looking great.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
