Here are five tips to help your Christmas tree stay fresh for longer:
1. Choose a tree that is still fresh.
2. Ensure the trunk is trimmed well.
3. Place the tree in the stand immediately and fill it with plenty of water; adding ice can help.
4. Consider using Christmas tree food for added nourishment.
5. Keep the tree in a cool, shaded area.
Most importantly, never leave a tree with lights unattended, as they can pose a fire hazard. Enjoy your holiday season!
