Extension Tip of the Week

Horticulture Tip of the Week

As November rolls around and we look forward to the beginning of the holiday season, we may start planning for a fresh-cut Christmas tree. A trip to the Christmas tree farm is often a tradition that follows directly after Thanksgiving.

To get the most out of your Christmas tree, consider waiting a couple of weeks longer to make that trip. Fresh cut trees can be hard to keep fresh and cutting the tree closer to Christmas will insure a fresher, safer tree when the big day arrives.
