What Our Customers Say
Christmas Tree Care
Looking for a live Christmas tree farm? Visit us over at Heidrich’s Colorado Tree Farm Nursery. There is nothing like having a real, fresh cut Christmas Tree to celebrate a very special time of year. We go to many lengths to make sure our live Christmas trees are fresh and cared for before you take it home. Here are some tips to that will ensure your tree will last through the Christmas season.
- Make sure you make a fresh cut on the bottom of the trunk before you place the tree in the stand. This will open up the part of the tree that will absorb water. Each tree will “drink” a different amount of water. If it doesn’t drink much, that does not mean the tree is drying out faster. We can make a fresh cut for you at the nursery before we load the tree, or you can do it later before you put the tree up. Either way it is very important to make a fresh cut.
- Fill the tree stand with hot tap water every time you add water. Check the water daily as you don’t want the bottom of the trunk to dry up and seal. If it does the tree will not drink water like it should. Usually trees will drink more water early on. Do not add sugar, syrup, Asprin, Sprite, or any other additive that may clog the bottom of the tree. Do add tree preservatives that are specially designed to preserve your tree. These preservatives soften the wood and help to thin the sap so that the tree will drink more water. We do carry a tree preservative.
- Try to avoid placing the tree close to a heat source like a south facing window, a heater vent, fireplace or stove. All of these will dry your tree quicker.
- Mist the tree with a quirt bottle. This will help to keep moisture levels higher in and around your tree.
- Tree type also has something to do with how quickly trees dry out. Check with our team and we can guide you as to which trees stay fresher longer. Native Colorado Trees will last longer than farm grown trees. Farm grown Fraser Fir will last longer than Farm grown Douglas Fir.
- And finally enjoy your real Christmas Tree!
