Begin by considering the available space in your home. It might seem obvious, but knowing the height of your ceiling and the size of the area where the tree will stand helps narrow down the choices. Nothing is quite as disappointing as realizing your tree is too tall or wide for your space. Once you've got those measurements, add a few inches to account for a tree stand and any decorative tree toppers. This simple preparation can save both time and hassle.
Next, think about the tree variety that best suits your style and needs. At Spring Creek Evergreens, we offer a range of species, each with unique characteristics. For a traditional look, the fragrant fir with its iconic pyramid shape is a great choice. The Douglas Fir, with its soft, full needles and sweet scent, is another popular option. If you prefer a tree with stronger branches to support heavier ornaments, the Norway Spruce could be ideal. Familiarizing yourself with these differences can aid in making a well-informed decision.
Inspecting the freshness of the tree is crucial for longevity and safety. A fresh tree ensures that it will last throughout the holiday season without excessive needle drop. Gently run your hand along the branches—fresh needles should remain firmly attached and have a vibrant, green hue. Lifting the tree slightly and tapping it on the ground can indicate freshness; minimal needle drop suggests it's a good choice. Always check for a sticky resin on the cut trunk—this is another sign of a healthy, fresh tree.
Another consideration is the scent. For many, the fresh, rich fragrance of a natural Christmas tree is a highlight of the holiday season. Stand close to the tree and take in its aroma. A strong, pleasant scent is often indicative of freshness, enhancing the atmosphere of your home.
Once you've selected your tree, it's essential to provide proper care to keep it looking lush throughout the holidays. At Spring Creek Evergreens, we advise giving your tree a fresh cut—about an inch from the base—before placing it in water. This facilitates better water absorption, which is crucial for maintaining the tree's vitality. Ensure the stand is always filled with water, checking daily to prevent the tree from drying out.
Finally, interact with our knowledgeable staff at Spring Creek Evergreens. Our team is always on hand to offer advice, answer questions, and even assist with loading your tree.
