Caring for your cut Christmas Tree

If you think of your Christmas Tree as a cut flower, you won't go wrong.

  1. Choose a stand or bucket that allows you to water the tree.
  2. Trim an inch off the base of the tree, so it can absorb water.
  3. Don't position the tree near a fire or radiator, or in the hottest room.
  4. Water regularly, trees can drink up to a pint a day.
