Tips for Selecting the Perfect Farm Fresh Christmas Tree
Choosing the ideal farm fresh Christmas tree requires a bit of consideration. Here are some expert tips to ensure you select a tree that fits your space, preferences, and holiday spirit:
- Size matters: Measure your designated space before shopping. Remember to account for room for ornaments, toppers, and stands.
- Shape and fullness: Decide if you prefer a tall, slender tree or a wide, bushy one. Visit the farm with an open mind to inspect how the branches and foliage develop.
- Needle retention: For long-lasting freshness, opt for varieties like Nordmann or Fraser firs that retain needles well.
- Fragrance: If scent is important, choose fragrant varieties like Fraser or Norway spruce.
- Color and texture: Inspect the color—deep green is generally preferred—and ensure the needles are healthy and flexible.
Preparing and Caring for Your Farm Fresh Christmas Tree
Once you have selected your perfect farm fresh Christmas tree, proper care will ensure it remains beautiful throughout the holiday season. Follow these simple steps:
- Fresh cut: If possible, make a fresh cut at the base of the trunk before bringing it home to improve water absorption.
- Watering: Always keep the stand filled with water—your tree is like a sponge and needs hydration to maintain needles and scent.
- Placement: Position your tree away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and drafts to prolong its freshness.
- Decorating: Use non-abrasive hooks and avoid overloading branches to prevent damage.
