• Buy a newly cut British grown Christmas tree from a local BCTGA member for guaranteed freshness.
• Trees come in all shapes and sizes. Choose one that fits into the designated space in the home.
• Once home, place the tree in water as soon as possible and store in a cool location until needed.
• Cut about ½ inch off the butt to open the tree pores before placing the Christmas tree in a water retaining stand and moving it indoors.
• Keep the tree away from direct heat to prevent it drying out; expect it to absorb a gallon of water in the first twenty-four hours, and at least a quarter per day thereafter.
• Inspect light sets before placing them on the tree (replace if worn), and always turn off the lights when leaving the house or when going to bed.
