Christmas Tree Tips:
-Get the tree into water as soon as possible after cutting!
-If limbs are pliable when bent, the tree is good; if limbs are beginning to wilt, don't buy it.
-Acclimate the tree to the warm indoors slowly; do not bring the tree inside immediately.
-Bring a plastic sheet to protect the paint job on your vehicle as well as bungee cords to secure the tree.
