Caring for your Christmas tree

You've found a beautiful tree and brought it home to deck the halls - here are a few tips for keeping your tree fresh and fragrant through the holiday season:

• If you haven't yet set your tree up, make a fresh cut, removing the lower 1/2-inch of the trunk.
• Whether your tree has been set up for weeks or you're just putting it in the stand now, WATER is the key to keeping your Christmas tree fresh! Check your tree stand regularly to ensure the bottom of the trunk is submerged.
• As much as possible, keep your Christmas tree away from radiators, fireplaces, and other sources of drying heat.

Last chance to order your tree!

Christmas is just two weeks away, but there’s still time to order a picture-perfect tree from a New Hampshire Christmas tree farm – if you do it soon! To ensure you have your tree to trim before the big day, you must place your order – online or via phone – by December 10th if you live outside of New England. Those within the New England region should order by December 15th.

Mail order Christmas trees are cut fresh and packed in wax-lined cartons to keep them fresh and fragrant en route to your holiday home. Find a New Hampshire Christmas tree farm that offers mail order trees on our mail order page.

We know there are plenty of last-minute shoppers out there. If you don’t get your tree order in on time… well, what a great excuse to visit a beautiful New Hampshire Christmas tree farm! Many farms remain open right to Christmas Eve. For more information on individual farms and their hours and dates of operation, visit our New Hampshire Christmas tree farms map.

Happy Holidays!
