Picking the Perfect Tree this Season

‘Tis the season for holiday decorations, bright lights, and fresh trees indoors, but choosing the right natural tree can be intimidating! A little research before you buy can help ensure your Christmas tree is more Rockefeller Center and less Charlie Brown Christmas. “The first thing to consider when buying a tree is selecting one that can stabilize your ornaments. Nobody likes a tree that can’t hold decorations! That is why I prefer a strong, Blue Spruce tree,” shared RCI Regional Support Manager, Courtney Hammontree. “You’ll also want a tree that is fragrant and a Blue Spruce is sure to be!” However, when buying a pre-cut tree, it is wise to consider just how fresh the tree is before bringing it home. Nothing is worse than a browning tree halfway through December! A good test of freshness includes removing a firmly attached needle. A needle from a fresh tree should snap right in half, while a needle from an older tree will likely bend. You will also want to make sure your tree is semi-moist to the touch before purchasing. A dry, crunchy tree will likely brown sooner than you’d like! Once you have selected your perfect tree, make sure to place it in water as soon as possible otherwise, the truck can form a scab and will not be able to absorb the water needed to maintain freshness. You'll also want to make sure to freshly cut the trunk at end to avoid scabbing. Trees should always be kept away from direct sunlight and warm drafts from vents. Exposure to sunlight and warm air will discolor your tree as well as shorten its lifespan. Just a few simple tips and tricks will help ensure your tree is strong and healthy all season long! Happy Hunting!
