​HOW TO GET THE BEST FROM YOUR  CUT ARDO CHRISTMAS TREE.

Picture
  • Conifers from Ardo Christmas Trees are all grown from sapling stage in Aberdeenshire. 
  • These trees have been grown in local plantations for between 5  to 9 years.
  • Once you have chosen your tree, we will net it for ease of transportation. 
  • We realise that you will be excited to put up your Ardo Christmas Tree as soon as possible. However a few extra cares just now, will help your tree stay green and festive till well after the big day. 
  • Once home, we recommend that you un-net your tree & keep it some where sheltered but unheated. A garage or shed would be ideal. 
  • Keep it here for a few days to allow your tree to acclimatise. 
  • At the same time, your tree will be thirsty. Think of it as a large bunch of flowers. So trim a few inches from the bottom of the trunk and emerge it in a large bucket of water. 
  • Once your tree has become used to the change in temper-ature, it’s time to bring it into the house. 
  • Choose a tree stand with a large enough reservoir to allow your tree to take in more water. A Christmas tree can drink a litre or more a day. 
  • Choose your position carefully. Not too close to the radiator. If you have under-floor heating, con-sider putting an insulating pad below the tree stand to reduce the transfer of heat. 
  • If the location allows, a water spray on to the tree occasionally will help prevent the needles from drying out. But, be aware of electrics and do not spray near them. 
  • One final thing to help your tree stay green is to mini-mise exposure to extremes of temp-erature. If your Christmas Tree is next to a window, consider closing the curtains over at night so that the chill from outside is kept to a minimum.
