Caring for Your Fresh-cut Christmas Tree

When selecting your tree, you need to know the optimal time to purchase and what’s okay (and not) with needle drop. In caring for your tree, you need to know when and why it needs a fresh cut as well as the do’s and don’ts for watering and setting up. A transcript of this video is available in The Buzz Blog.

Caring for Your Living Christmas Tree

Sean highlights the critical things you need to know if you choose to have a living Christmas tree indoors.

Things you need to keep in mind… The tree must acclimate to warmer temps before coming inside. It should be inside for no more than 7 days, tops. It needs to acclimate to cooler temps before moving outdoors. Watch the video for all of the deets! A transcript of this video is available in The Buzz Blog.
