Your real Christmas tree has made the journey home... Now what?

We give a complimentary fresh cut to every tree before it leaves the lot. This helps your tree resume water uptake and ensures freshness.
🔵 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑
Place your tree in water ASAP. Place a bowl underneath the trunk of your tree and fill the bowl with fresh water.
The first time you add water to your tree, add HOT water. Hot water melts the sap off of the tree and helps your tree drink better.
💦 𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑
Fresh-cut trees are very thirsty. Your tree will drink between 2 pints and 1 gallon of water a day, so it’s essential to have a water bowl that can hold at least a gallon of water or more.
💧 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐋
Check the stand every day and add fresh water as needed.
Remember, if you let the water level drop below the freshly cut base of the trunk, a new seal will form over the bottom and the tree will not be able to drink.
Depending on the freshness of the tree, the tree might not take up water right away. Keep your tree in water anyways. It may take 1-2 days before your tree begins taking up the water.
🔥 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐓
Your tree will be happiest away from sources of heat like sunlight, fireplaces, registers, radiators or baseboard heaters and away from the direct rays of the sun.
🌡️ 𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄
Lowering the room temperature will slow the drying process, resulting in less water consumption each day.
💡𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 🔌
Use a surge protector for any electrical decorations and check for any exposed wires before decorating your tree. Be careful not to overload your circuits!
🌲 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐈𝐓 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐍
Add “Keep It Green” Christmas tree preservative to your tree’s water bowl to preserve freshness and needle retention.
You can find Keep It Green at all of our Severts locations.
Enjoy your real Christmas tree well into the new year!
