How many days does it take for the tree needles to drop or turn brown?
If a tree is cared for properly (the end cut off, put in water, and kept in water) the tree should not drop needles or turn brown until the early part of January. Back to Top What additives can I add to the Christmas tree water to make the tree fireproof or at least somewhat flame resistant. There are a lot of products on the market that claim to keep REAL TREES fresh and safe. The additive that we recommend is … WATER! Our best advice is to make a fresh cut on the trunk (1/4 inch) and place it in water immediately. Store it in a cool, shaded place out of the sun until you are ready to decorate it. Then, never let it run out of water. If it gets dry, it will be difficult to get it to start “drinking” again.
