Quick Tip: How to Care for Your Christmas Tree

How to Care for Your Christmas Tree - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. When you bring your Christmas tree home the first thing is: make a fresh cut on the bottom of the trunk. It only has to be about a half an inch of trunk. Just in case the sap had sealed over the roots, we want the Christmas tree to be able to bring water up and stay alive and stay fresh and green. The next thing would be to put it in a stand that holds water. The tree was a living thing and it is going to suck up water through its system. If you have got a Christmas tree stand with a nice big bowl, it is going to hold water, you do not have to check it every hour and you are going to like it a lot better if you have got a stand that holds a lot of water.
