What Christmas tree should I get?

Question

Getting our first real tree tomorrow and I know nothing about them… what should I know? What should I look out for ? What tree sheds the most? Which one smells the nicest ? Etc … thank you

Answer

Oooo what a fun post!
I like the Douglas fir trees! I go for tall and full! They have a better appearance and are often quite full. I think they smell decent too. Foresty. I cheat and stick spicy scented pine cones in mine for extra scent. The leaves are super thin and can be a pain for some people. I don’t mind because I’m more inclined to purchase a tree based on appearance. Holds ornaments well too. When purchasing, I highly recommend having the seller trim the base and at least a foot of branches. Trimming the base allows fresh access to the water. Also, if they trim the branches about a foot up from the base, it makes water access and decorating easier. Gives it a cleaner cut, lol. Just check for water every other day and you should be good!

Answer

Make sure you keep the base full with water.  Once it's set up give it a day or too for the branches to drop/spread/floof out.  Consider wearing gloves when transporting and getting it set up.....I always have a little reaction to the sap.

Answer

Make sure you water it! Don’t want to start a fire
