Moist Christmas Trees Best According to Forest Service
The Forest Service advises selecting a fresh moist tree and keeping it in water to preserve color fragrance and fire resistance. Test freshness by shaking for loose needles, cut the butt, place in water, and keep cool indoors away from heat sources. Use a cross wise rack for support and add water daily, noting a 5 to 6 foot tree may drink about a cup daily. A flat sided tree may suit small rooms and cost less.
