The tree is up and decorated.
Here are some tips for keeping it looking fresh through Christmas.
University of Illinois Extension Horticulture Expert Richard Hentschel says the best thing you can do is make sure your tree has plenty of water …
Hentschel says the base needs to always be covered in water or else resin will form and the tree won’t be able to absorb water.
Other tips for staving off dryness include keeping the tree away from heat vents, using miniature lights which produce the least amount of heat, and turning down the
thermostat a bit.
