Proper care needed for trees
Real Christmas trees can
thrive throughout the holiday
season when properly cared for,
says the North Carolina
Christmas Tree Association.
Follow the suggestions given
below for a tree which will
spread its warmth from well be-
fore the Christmas holiday sea-
son begins to long after it ends.
Choosing a Christmas tree
can be fun for the whole family.
These few guidelines can make
the selection of a fresh, natural
Christmas tree more fun and
provide the best value for your
money.
Determine where in your
home your Christmas tree will
be displayed before you head'to
the tree lot; this will help deter-
mine the height and’shape ‘of *
the tree you'll need to'select.
Do a freshness test. The nee-
dles should be resilient. Hold a
branch about six inches from
the top, and pull your hand to-
ward the tip, allowing the
branch to slip through your fin-
gers. Needles should adhere to
the branch and not fall off into
your hand.
Another freshness test is to
lift the tree a couple of inches
off the ground and bring it
down abruptly on its stump;
outside needles should not fall
off in substantial numbers.
Inside needles, on the other
hand, do turn brown and shed
naturally every year.
A good fragrance and rich
green color also indicates natu-
ral freshness in a Christmas
tree.

The most important thing to
remember about caring for a re-
al tree is that it needs water.
Put the tree in a water-hold-
ing stand immediately. Keep
plenty of water in the tree stand.
A Christmas tree may absorb a
gallon of water in the first 24
hours it's up and severaliquarts
of water thereafter. ;
Position your tree away from
heat sources, fireplaces and
television sets.
Be sure that all light cords
and connections are in good
working condition and not
frayed or otherwise damaged
and don't forget to unplug the
lights when you go to bed or
leave home.
