Step 1: Choose the Perfect Tree
When you visit Gullivers, you’ll find a wide selection of freshly cut Christmas trees. Our trees are sourced with care to ensure quality and longevity, making them the perfect centrepiece for your festive celebrations. Be sure to choose a tree that fits your space, looks vibrant, and has flexible needles that don’t break easily when bent.
Step 2: Prepare Your Tree
Once you bring your tree home, it’s time to prep it for display:
1. Trim the Base: Saw about an inch off the bottom of the trunk to open up the pores, allowing the tree to absorb water effectively.
2. Choose the Right Spot: Keep your tree away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces to prevent it from drying out too quickly.
3. Use a Sturdy Stand: Ensure your tree stand can hold enough water and keep the tree upright securely.
Step 3: Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Christmas trees are thirsty! Fill your tree stand with fresh water as soon as possible and check it daily. A well-watered tree can absorb up to a gallon of water a day, especially in the first week. Never let the water level drop below the cut end of the trunk, as this can cause it to seal and reduce water uptake.
Step 4: Keep It Cool and Fresh
Maintain a cool room temperature and avoid overloading your tree with heavy decorations that can weigh down branches. LED lights are a great option for decorating as they emit less heat, helping your tree last longer.
Step 5: Enjoy the Festive Glow
With proper care, your Christmas tree will stay lush, fragrant, and festive throughout the holiday season. Once the celebrations are over, consider recycling your tree or repurposing it as mulch to keep things sustainable.
