LITTLE HILLS CHRISTMAS TREE FARM

Tree Care Tips
Christmas Trees are very thirsty and must be placed in water to stay green and fresh. If more than 1 hour has passed since cutting your tree you should cut 1/2 inch off the base of your tree before placing it into water. You should check your tree daily. Trees can drink 1 quart of water daily per inch of diameter at their base. (A tree with a 5 inch diameter base can drink 5 quarts of water a day!)

We recommend getting a stand with the following capacities as a guide:
Up to 7' tree - 1 gallon
Up to 9' tree - 1-3/4 gallon
Up to 12' tree - 3 gallon
These are guidelines. Your situation may require something different. When in doubt more water is always better.

Never allow the water level to go below the base of the tree. If this should happen sap can run out and seal off the base, restricting water flow.

Do not place tree near fireplace or wood stove!
Do not place tree near heater or heater vent.
Do not place tree in window with direct sunlight.

Keep your tree FRESH - Keep it in WATER!
