Fresh Cut Fraser Fir Trees

Nothing beats the beauty and scent of a fresh cut Christmas tree. We love Fraser Firs because they are one of the best varieties for holding their needles.

Here are some tips to keep your tree fresh:

Make a fresh cut straight across the base of the trunk, cut off about 1/2″ before placing in a tree stand.
Use a stand that will hold a gallon of water or more.
Check water often and keep the stand full. A tree may take up a gallon of water in the first 24 hours and a quart a day after that. Preservatives are not needed, just plenty of fresh water.
Place tree away from heat sources, heating vents, fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators, and sunny windows.
