Main St. Local Calendar Oh, Christmas Tree! As tempting as a pricey artifi- cial pre-lit Christmas tree may be, few things about the holi- days are as satisfying as a fresh, real tree. Consider these fun facts and tips: Fresh test. Gently grasp a branch between your thumb and forefinger, and pull it toward you. Very few needles should come off in your hand if the tree is fresh. Shake or bounce the tree on its stump. You should not see an excessive amount of green nee- dles fall to the ground. Keep it fresh. The best secret for keeping your tree fresh is water, water, water. Once you get your tree home, cut 1/4-inch off the end and immediately put the tree into water. Never allow your tree to run out of water. If a fresh tree is properly cared for and watered, it should stay fresh through New Year's Day. Additives. The National Christ- mas Tree Association does not endorse any additive to the tree's water. Your tree will stay fresh with just plain water. Whoops. Within four to six hours of exposure, the tree will form a sap seal over the stump and it will not absorb water. If you forget to make a fresh cut and the tree is set up and decorated, do this: Remove the water from the stand (a turkey baster works great). Drill holes into the side of the trunk below the water level. Immediately refill with water, making sure none of the holes are above the water line. Size. When choosing a tree, the most impor- tant characteristic is water capacity. A good rule-of-thumb is one quart for every inch in diameter of the tree's trunk. For example, the average 6-foot tree has a trunk with a 4-inch diameter, so the tree stand should hold 1 gal- lon of water. Mary Hunt Fire hazard. The National Fire Protection Association tracks fires and their causes. According to their data, of all residential fires, real Christmas trees are involved in less than 0.1 percent. Sensa- tional blazing trees on the evening news are often doused in a flam- mable liquid to create a show, or are very old and dried out. Why real? If the nostalgia of a fresh, fragrant tree is not reason enough to go natural, consider these facts: Artificial trees will Everyday Cheapskate last for six years in your home (got storage space?), but for cen- turies in a landfill. One to three seedlings are plant- ed in the U.S. for every harvested Christmas tree - - a total of 41 million were planted in winter/spring 2010,alone. Ninety-three percent of real Christmas trees har- vested are recycled in community programs pro- viding mulch for land- scape and replenishing the Earth's soil. An industry. There are close to 15,000 farms growing Christmas trees in the U.S., and at last count over 100,000 peo- ple are employed full- or part-time in the industry. Caution: Never burn a tree in a fireplace or wood stove. Pine trees have a lot of sap that can flash and also create a chimney fire.
