...care for Christmas Trees

The real tree wholesale and retail sale industry continues to grow year after year. It is very important for both the consumer and wholesaler to know about proper real tree care.

If you're purchasing trees to resale on a lot or from your business then trees should be stored in shaded areas and protected from extreme temperatures and wind. The trees should be covered with some sort of burlap or shade cloth, instead of plastic, and should be sprayed with water regularly. Water is very important of course and trees should be sprayed in the morning and throughout the day if needed depending on the temperature and sunlight. If the tree is being kept in warmer areas with lower levels of humidity the trees will need more water than usual. Trees should be given on average a quart of water a day.

After taking the tree home, consumers should make a fresh cut to the bottom of the tree trunk about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick so that the tree can get water adequately. Then simply check and water your tree daily to insure that it retains its needles and remains fresh throughout the season. Your real tree will not only remain quite beautiful all season long; it will also provide that holiday scent that you're looking for!
