First and foremost it’s important to give your tree the best chance of lasting the course of the festive season. To this end, at Pines & Co we always trim the base of our trees prior to delivery. This reopens the pores of the tree which will have sealed up after the initial cut and makes it receptive to hydration once again. Secondly, when installing a Christmas tree, we always advise our clients to pick a location in the room that isn’t taking the brunt of the heat being thrown out by a fire, stove or radiator. Thirdly, all of our Christmas trees are delivered with a suitable cinco stand that includes a watertight reservoir – even our vintage oak barrel stands (see below!). Our team will be more than happy to fill your stand with water upon erecting your Christmas tree – all you have to remember to do is to keep it topped up over the festive season!
