Christmas trees
[Continued from Page 50]
(placed in woven, plastic string sacks
which push the branches up and close
together against the trunk) and placed flat
on the ground until the day you want to
decorate it,” advised Frey.
Stopping the air circulation through the
branches and having a lot of the tree in
contact with the ground moisture greatly
sustains the freshness of the tree.
“Don’t take the tree into the house more
than one hour before you decorate it,”
Frey said, continuing with his instructions.
“You will have a nicer tree to work with.”
After putting it in the house, water it
immediately. Use warm or hot water -
never cold.
“During the first 24 hours a seven foot
tree will use two quarts of water. Refill the
container after the first 12 hours and
repeat refilling at least every other day,”
Frey explained.
He also emphatically cautioned, “Never
de-bark the tree trunk. The evergreen
drinks in water from the pores m the outer
layer. If you take the bark off, the tree
cannot dnnk in water and will, die very
quickly.”
This evergreen grower suggests using
the new chemicals now on the market
which help stimulate the pores to draw
water.
“They do a good job of opening pores,”
he said. “The warm water also helps.”
“Properly taken care of, a tree will last
six weeks in the house. We had one put up
the week before Christmas and taken down
in March,” Frey noted by way of proof.

people are buying live Christmas trees
now than four or five years ago.
“The artificial tree was at its peak when
the aluminum tree came out. Now these
aluminum trees are completely off the
market. There is a definite trend these last
five years of returning to live trees in this
area,” Frey comments.
“It is a sign of the times we are living in
now,” he reflects. “People want live things
around them. It’s this ecology business,”
he adds.
He remembers one customer saying that
no one can duplicate the beauty of a tree
that God has made.
Not only have people been buying more
live trees, but they have been buying
larger ones. Many ask for 10 and 12 foot
trees.
“Cathedral ceilings in new homes and
the higher ceilings in the big farmhouses in
this area provide room for these larger
trees,” Frey explains. “People are willing
to pay for them. Artificial trees get shop
worn after a few years and need to be
replaced, anyway,” he continues.
One final caution Frey made - the tree
always looks smaller out of doors than
inside a house. Measure the one you pick
out not by the eye but by a rule or you may
end up without enough room for the angel
on top.
If Santa has been delivering your trees
in the past on Christmas Eve and they
haven’t lasted very long, you might clip
this article out and leave it for him to read
while he takes a break with your milk and
cookies.
