Needle Drop Problems with Christmas Trees

A real Christmas Tree is a living thing, and needs special attention. Just follow a these simple steps and it should keep it's colour and shape (and needles!) through the whole Christmas period.

• Before use, store the tree in cool natural conditions away from high wind or direct sunlight.
• Try and water or keep moist to prevent dehydration.
• Make a 1/4 inch cut at the base of the trunk before putting the Christmas tree into a water stand. This helps the tree take up moisture, and to last longer. Keep the water stande topped up.
• Avoid disturbing the Christmas tree once it's in place.
• Don't put your Christmas Tree too close to a fire or a radiator - this will dry out the tree and is the most common cause of needle-drop.
