Dear Stewart,
I decided to buy a live Christmas
tree this year. How am I
supposed to care for it?
Dear Mr. Reese,
T. Reese
Congratulations on deciding to
go live this year. This tree will be
there to enjoy year after year and
you might see me or one of my
friends living in it some day.
Yes, there is special care involved
in live trees, but it is not
all that difficult. The most important
thing is to gradually introduce
it to the warmer conditions
of the house. Start three or four

days before and put it in the cool
garage or an enclosed porch.
Remember this tree is dormant
and immediate heat will start it
growing again. Before it gets inside
the house you’ll also want to
check it for bugs and other critters.
Some people like to spray
on an antidessicant like Wiltpruf
to help the needles contain the
moisture before they bring the
tree in the house.
When it’s ready to come inside,
place it inside a large galvanized
tub to help stabilize it and help
collect any fallen needles or debris.
Try to locate the tree in a
cool part of the room and definitely
away from heat sources.
Keep the root ball watered as
often as necessary but try not to
Humane Society of Warren County
get it too soggy by over watering.
Try not to leave the tree inside
any more than 4 to 7 days and
never add nutrients or fertilizers
while inside the house. For reintroducing
the tree to the outdoors,
just reverse the procedure
of bringing it inside so that it can
slowly adapt to the colder temperatures
outside. Once ready,
the tree can be planted just like
any other tree. Of course, you
had planned ahead and already
dug and prepared the hole so this
part should be easy.
I hope you enjoy your live Christmas
tree for many years!
