Think Green.

A single Christmas tree farm absorbs more than one ton of CO2 in its lifetime. In addition, for every tree harvested, one to three trees are planted. At the end of the holiday season, 93% of real trees are recycled, returning their nutrients to the earth. Real trees are a decision you can feel good about.

Pick like a pro:

Measure your space. Be sure that your tree will not be too tall or overwhelmingly large for your living room. Bring your measurements with to the tree lot.

Check for freshness. Look for excessive needle loss, brittle limbs, or flimsy needles. Fresh trees should have flexible boughs and an abundance of crisp needles.

Care for your tree. Cut an additional 1" off of the bottom of the trunk when home and water well. Avoid placing the tree in direct sunlight or near a heater.
