“ Make sure the tree has a fresh cut on the trunk — half an inch is good — to allow the tree to drink water . Try to put the tree in water a couple of hours after getting it . Store it in a pail of water if necessary .” – Jean Helger-Bento , Pachet Brook Tree Farm
“ While we give every tree a fresh cut on-premises , if you don ’ t plan on putting your tree up right away after picking it , make sure you store it in a cool space such as a garage and give it another fresh cut before putting it in your home . Make sure the water in your tree stand is constantly filled and fresh .” – Jocelyn Emin , Seven Cedars Farm
“ Fill your tree stand with water only — do not add sugar , bleach , vinegar or any of the bottles of ‘ Stay Fresh ’ that you can buy in big box stores . The trees only need water to stay fresh ; adding those other items will kill your tree much faster .” – Jane Durning , Riverside Christmas Tree Farm
“ Do not set up the tree near a heat source . If you have a wood stove , choose a Nordmann , Fraser , Korean or Douglas fir or a Meyer spruce to avoid the tree drying out .” – Jean Helger-Bento , Pachet Brook Tree Farm
