Live Christmas Trees

Live Christmas Trees are an environmentally sound tradition that may bring years of joy to you and your family. Transplanting success is enhanced by the following guidelines:

1. Move inside gradually, such as placing it in a cool garage for one day before moving into the house.
2. Keep home temperatures reasonably low once tree is inside and avoid placing near heat vents.
3. Keep tree watered while inside.
4. Do not keep tree inside for more than 5 days.
5. Move back outside gradually, 1 day in a cool garage then move it outside.
6. Overwinter tree in sheltered area or on north side of house where it will not receive direct sunlight.
7. Cover pot with soil or sawdust to insulate pot and avoid winter thawing.
8. The tree may need watered through the winter on warm days, usually no more than once or twice per month, remember to water the foliage as well as the pot.
9. Plant in wide hole once ground has thawed.
