Boy, old Gil sure isn't a Christmas tree expert

O Christmas tree…
…how dead are your branches?

WGAL is doing a piece on people buying Christmas trees right about now. And the Intell had a bit this morning about how customers are “swarming” county farms.

I don’t understand. It’s Nov. 24. There are more than four weeks until Christmas. Are any of these trees going to have a single needle left come Dec. 25?

Life of Christmas Tree
When you get your tree home and before you bring it inside, cut at least 1 inch on a small slant off the bottom. This creates an open "wound" that the trees root system can take water through. As long as you keep the bottom of the tree and the entire cut area filled with water, you should get a good solid month out of the tree before it starts to dry out and lose its needles.
