Selecting Your Christmas Tree
Be sure to know what size (height & width) of tree you need.
Measure your ceiling height where the tree will be displayed. Trees in the field look smaller than they really are.
The type of tree you choose depends on your personal preferences. Click here to to discover tree varieties and their characteristics.
To do a freshness test gently grasp a branch and pull it toward you. Only a few needles should come off in your hand if the tree is fresh. Shake or bounce the tree. Some loss of brown needles is normal but falling green needles is a warning sign that the tree is dry.
Once you have purchased the perfect tree keep it fresh throughout the Christmas season.
