FRESH TREE CARE TIPS CHOOSING YOUR FRESH TREE • Measure the ceiling height where you intend to set up your tree, then subtract the height of your tree stand and the height of your tree topper. Also measure the width of the setup space.

• Take a tape measure with you to the tree farm.

• Know the maximum- and minimum-size trunk that will fit your tree stand.

• Evaluate the ornaments you will hang on your tree. Heavier ornaments will require stronger branches. Long/tall ornaments will require room to drape and be seen between lower branches.

Bring an unbreakable sample ornament with you when choosing your tree.

TRADITIONAL TREE TYPES Blue spruce - Known for its bluish/gray/ silvery coloring, this species features a pyramid shape and strong branches that lend themselves nicely to decorating.

Popular choice as a living tree to be planted after the holidays.

Fraser fir - Short, soft silvery-green needles are the distinctive feature of this species. Considered to be easier to decorate, as the strong branches turn slightly upward and have nice spacing.

This species is known for its excellent needle retention.

White pine - This low-aroma tree is recognized by its long, feathery needles.

Boughs are used for wreaths and garlands, but heavier ornaments may not work well on its flexible branches.

Douglas fir - This is the most popular Christmas tree species in the PNW, with its soft, shiny green needles that have a pungent but pleasant fragrance.

Noble fir - This naturally symmetrical tree is a deep green in color and is the popular choice for wreaths and garlands. Branches are sturdy, with good spacing for decorating. This species makes up 25%30% percent of the market in the PNW.

RECIPE FOR A HEALTHY TREE • Put your tree into a bucket of warm water immediately upon arriving home, while you’re setting up.

• To slow down drying, locate the tree away from heating vents, fireplaces and direct sunlight.

• As a general rule, your tree stand should provide one quart of water per inch of stem diameter.

• Before you setup the tree, make a fresh one-inch cut off the end of the trunk.

• Water your tree 2-3 times daily for the first few days, then once daily to keep the reservoir full. This could be as much as one quart or more per day.

• A watering can with a long spout will help you reach the water reservoir.

• Experts say just plain water, with no additives, is best for keeping your tree fresher longer.

GETTING THE TREE HOME SAFELY The tree farm will bale your tree for transport, and some will help you secure it to your vehicle. Don’t forget to bring: • extra twine and bungee cords • a red flag or bandanna in case the tree hangs off the end of your car • gloves to protect your hands • an old blanket to protect your car

TREE DISPOSAL Most cities have curbside tree recycling or a Boy Scout troop (or other nonprofit) in the area that will take trees for a small donation. Contact your local Boy Scout troop for dates and locations. For more information, contact your county or yardwaste collection service for details for your specific area. Note: Most waste collection providers require the tree to be cut into pieces. Flocked trees cannot be recycled.
