Keep Christmas Fresh
Trees used during the holiday season inside
your home can be a wonderful and fragrant tradition. Keeping
decorated trees and bows fresh requires some care and attention.
It is important to start with the freshest cut trees and branches
available and keeping them watered and away from direct heat
sources. An eight-foot tree can drink up to 1 gallon of water
a day to start with and will slowly decrease its uptake over
time. Researches on additives have not shown any advantage over
simple water. Make sure you tree stands has enough water capacity
for at least 24 hours and check the water regularly.
For more information, refer to publications that are available
for purchase at your local Extension office or through WSU
publications, or contact a WSU Master Gardener at (360)
