Keeping your Nordman Fir Christmas tree fresh is important for maintaining its beauty throughout the holiday season.

Here are five tips to help you achieve that:

• Choose a Fresh Tree: Start with a fresh tree. When selecting your Nordman Fir, check for vibrant green needles that are flexible and don't break easily. Shake the tree gently to ensure that only a minimal amount of needles fall off.
• Cut the Trunk: Once you bring the tree home, make a fresh cut at the base of the trunk. This helps the tree absorb water more effectively. Use a saw to make a straight cut, removing about 1-2 inches from the base.
• Use a Tree Stand with Water Reservoir: Place your Nordman Fir in a sturdy tree stand that has a water reservoir. The stand should be able to hold an ample amount of water to keep the tree hydrated. Check the water level daily and ensure that it never falls below the base of the trunk.
• Keep it Cool: Position your Christmas tree away from direct heat sources such as radiators, fireplaces, and heat vents. Exposure to heat can cause the tree to dry out more quickly. Additionally, avoid placing the tree in direct sunlight.
• Humidity Matters: Maintain a comfortable level of humidity in the room where the tree is placed. Dry air can cause the tree to lose moisture more rapidly. If the indoor air is too dry, consider using a humidifier to add moisture to the environment.

By following these tips, you can extend the freshness of your Nordman Fir Christmas tree and enjoy its beauty throughout the holiday season.
