CARE FOR A CUT TREE
We recommend taking a fresh cut (approx 1/2 inch) off the bottom of your tree trunk right before putting it in water. Then - Simply NEVER letting your tree run out of water. It will tend to seal over with sap and have a harder time drinking.
CARE FOR A LIVE BALL AND BURLAPED TREE
· Store tree in a cool, shady area until ready to use.
· Keep ball moist.
· When bringing inside, place tree away from room heaters.
· Keep well watered.
· After Christmas, remove tree from warm house to cool garage
or storeroom. Do not shock it by taking it from 75 degrees
to freezing.
· Keep well watered.
· Re-plant on mild day. (Many wait until early spring.)
· Select a good growing area . . . good soil, well drained.
· Plant tree a couple of inches deeper than the original depth.
· Pack dirt tightly against roots.
· Water sufficiently to settle in dirt. Then mound dirt around tree to
prevent freezing weather from hitting tree roots that might
have been exposed.
