Tree Restoration

[Vegas Guy]

If I missed this somewhere my apologies. Living in Las Vegas the norm is a fairly dry tree. Most come from California which is normally under drought conditions anyway. Does anyone have a miracle cure for tree dryness? If I'm lucky I find a place nearby that delivers the next day after you order but those seem to have disappeared the past few years.

:wiggy: Thanks in advance!

There are no miracles, for the most part you treat a cut Christmas tree like fresh bouquet of cut flowers. Taking the tree down and cutting about a 1-inch slice off the bottom of the trunk, then replacing the tree in the stand and re-watering, will remedy this problem. Although inconvenient, it is the only way to prevent early needle loss. Buy the freshest tree possible in the first place. Look for Douglas or Fraser fir as they have best needle retention
