Caring for your tree

 Our farm grows Fraser Fir, Balsam Fir and Concolor Fir trees.

Each fresh cut and cut-your-own tree guaranteed to last through the season!

2023: Our cut your own field size range is 6.5 ft ft to 13 ft

Our Pre-cut Balsam Fir sizes are 4 ft - 9 ft tall

 If it has not been re-cut at our farm, cut about 1-2 inches off the bottom of the tree before bringing it into the house.

  • DO NOT remove the bark. The bark of the tree is how your tree drinks water.

  • If your tree has been "wrap" with netting, LEAVE IT ON until your tree is in the stand.  It makes it a lot easier to bring it through an entrance, put it into the stand and adjust the initial upright alignment.

  • Place the tree away from all heat "sources": vents, heat ducts, baseboard, radiators, portable heat units, wood stoves and fireplaces.

  • Install your tree upright in a water-bearing stand. The more water the tree stand can hold, the easier it will be to maintain sufficient water demand of the tree.

  • Use hot tap water initially. It will increase water absorption by as much as 50% . It is not necessary to add any additives.

  • Do not use or add sugar to the water. It will encourage mold to grow in the water

  • Keep Your Tree FRESH by checking the Water DAILY for the FIRST 10 DAYS. Then as needed.

  • Turn off the lights when leaving home or going to bed.

A properly watered, fresh-cut tree is almost impossible to ignite contrary to popular opinion. However, use common sense and be sure all lights are in good condition and avoid combustible decorations.
