How To Keep Your Christmas Tree From Dropping Needles

Christmas is right around the corner and its time to start thinking about which tree you will pick to light up your living room with some holiday spirit! Some might choose to go with a fake tree for easy cleanup and most of all NO MESS. However, there are some tips and tricks we can give you so you can enjoy your real Christmas tree and keep the droppings at a minimum. Because lets face it, there truly is nothing like a real Christmas tree.

So how can I keep the needles from dropping on my Christmas tree?

  • The fresher, the better.

    Cutting your own tree is best because its hard to tell how long ago the trees on local tree farm were cut.

  • Give it a shake.

    If you shake the tree around a bit, you shouldn’t notice a ton of needles falling off. If so, NEXT!

  • Water, water, water.

    The most important part of keeping your Christmas tree thriving is making sure the water is full at all times.

  • If you can find a Christmas tree with a root ball that will be your absolute best bet on preventing large amounts of needle drop.

  • Keep the tree away from heating vents or fireplaces. Extreme hot and cold temperatures will likely cause needle drop.

These are just a few of our favorite tips to keep your Christmas tree healthy and glowing this season! Give us a call if you have any additional questions about tree care!
