As you are cutting down a tree from it's trunk, it cannot be replanted afterwards or else it will die. Trees can also not be dug up with roots to be replanted. If you are wanting to plant your own Christmas Tree, we have a select number of small Christmas Trees in pots with roots that can be purchased.

Using a bucket to keep your tree secure is not something we recommend. As Christmas Trees can be quite heavy, using a bucket will not keep your tree secure and this can be an extreme safety problem if you have children or pets. We sell Cinco Christmas Tree stands on the farm that come with a 10 year warranty and are extremely safe and reliable in holding up and maintaining your Christmas Tree.
-
Our recommendations for looking after your tree are as follows:
- Fill up your stand with 3/4 water and 1/4 lemonade.
- Every time you add water, add some lemonade.
- Do not keep your live Christmas tree under direct heating and cooling as it will dry out the pine.
- Do not keep your real Christmas Tree outside or in direct sunlight as this will dry out the tree.
- In the first 24 hours of your tree being cut down, it will be extremely thirsty.**
Please check your water levels the next day and then every second or third day so that your tree does not run out of water and dry out.If you are worried about insects, you can spray your tree with bug spray.
-
If taken care of, your Christmas tree can last you up to 7 weeks. The average lifespan after being cut down is 5 weeks, which is why we open on the very last weekend of November so that your Christmas tree is guaranteed to last you until your Christmas celebrations.
-
We close for business on December 22nd and do not open again until the last weekend of November 2022. We will not be able to assist with purchases after December 22nd as our family will be taking time off after a very busy time for us. If you are wanting a tree for your Christmas in January, please consider purchasing a tree on the last week of December. Your tree will last you to January if taken care of correctly.
