To keep your Christmas tree looking fresh, and to enjoy the wonderful fragrance that the tree delivers, it is recommended that the following three simple steps are followed:

TIP 1. Before standing the tree, ensure that the base of the tree is not dry. If the base is dry, it is recommended that the tree stub be re-cut at least 10mm shorter. This allows the water to be absorbed through the trunk more effectively.

TIP 2. Stand the Christmas tree in fresh water. In the first 24 hours of the tree being in water the tree can drink up to 3 liters of fluids. Ensure that the water levels are kept higher than the base to prevent it from drying out; If at any stage that the base of your tree is out of water for any length of time, your tree will risk drying out sooner.

TIP 3. Do not leave the Christmas tree in direct sunlight. Some Australian hot days will stress the needles on the tree causing the tree to brown off sooner.

TIP 4. Use mist spray to freshen up your tree from day to day.
