TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE FRESH THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS. 

DEPENDING ON WHEN YOU PUT YOUR TREE UP, IT MAY STILL BE IN GOOD SHAPE OR STARTING TO DRY OUT. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS EXTENSION EDUCATOR KATIE PARKER SAYS WHAT YOUR TREE NEEDS MOST IS WATER.

YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR TREE EVERY DAY TO SEE IF IT NEEDS WATER SAYS UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS EXTENSION EDUCATOR KATIE PARKER. BUT WHAT ABOUT ADDITIVES?

PARKER SAYS IT’S ALSO A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP YOUR TREE OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND AWAY FROM HEAT VENTS. IF IT’S GETTING REALLY DRY YOU CAN ALWAYS CUT THE STUMP AGAIN BUT THAT’S PROBABLY IMPOSSIBLE IF IT’S DECORATED.
