Choosing a tree:

To ensure that your tree will look its best throughout the holiday season choose a fresh tree and keep it well watered. To test a tree for freshness, gently grasp a branch between your thumb and forefinger and pull it toward you. Very few needles should come off in your hand.  

Watering

Keep the tree’s stand full of water at all times, checking the water level daily.

The stand you use should hold at least one quart of water for every inch diameter of the trunk after the tree is in the stand.

Remember you don’t need to add anything to the tree’s water, plain tap water is the best option.

Safety

Place the Christmas Tree well away from heat registers, space heaters, fire places, wood stoves, televisions, computer monitors and other heat sources. These will speed up evaporation and moisture loss of the tree.

Check all electric lights and connections before decorating. Don't use any lights with worn or frayed cords.

Turn off all decorations before going to bed at night or anytime that you leave home.

Use these tips and enjoy a safe and beautiful holiday season with your TROSA tree!
