Preparing Your Christmas Tree at Home

Shaking and Bailing

At the farm, we prepare your tree by shaking it to remove any debris and then wrapping it for easy transport. Be sure to keep it in this condition until you are ready to set it up at home!

Setting Up Your Tree

1. Choose the Right Location: Place your tree in a spot that’s visible and accessible, away from heat sources.

2. Water, Water, Water: Once the tree is set up, ensure it has plenty of water. A fresh cut enables better water absorption, so be sure to check fluids daily.
