How to Keep Your Christmas Tree Fresh

trees

Keep water in your tree reservoir at all times. Make a fresh cut on your tree if it’s out of water for more than 15 minutes. If you cannot put your tree in your home right away, keep it in a cool shady area outside in water. Place your tree away from the heater/ac vents and sunlight as these dry the tree more quickly. Use our tree preservative to keep your tree as fresh as possible. Unplug lights when not at home; this reduces dry conditions and protects from fire hazard.

    My opinion is, if the lights are LED and not incandescent, there is negligible heat generated or electricity used, so I would not worry about unplugging them.
