How long does a Christmas Tree last?

Christmas Trees, like flowers, will stay fresh looking for about 3-4 weeks. It's critical that the trees have fresh water, and it is topped up every day or so. If the water runs out, no amount of topping up will recover the tree, it is damaged, and in survival mode. Do not let your tree dry out, and if it's not taking water every day, cut the base more.

What's the best way to take care of a Christmas Tree?

A Christmas tree will drink a lot of water the first few days so keep it topped up. Don't let the water dry out, or the base will seal again and you'll have to take out the tree to cut the base again. Some people suggest an aspirin in the water helps, or even a drop of bleach, but we've always relied on keeping the water fresh.

Do we sell potted Christmas Trees?

We don't sell trees in pots but wanted to let everyone know that the best time to buy them is during the year, not at Christmas, and the best place to buy them is from a nursery. They sell them in posts in the nursery where we are located. If you ask for a Christmas tree, they'll say they don't sell them. A Christmas tree is a pine tree that has been trimmed. In Australia we use radiata pine trees, however, there lots of pine varieties that are suitable for Christmas trees and be kept in a pot. You could try a Monterey Pine, White Spruce, Blue Star or Norway Spruce.
