Is Your Christmas Tree Fresh?
When choosing your tree, there are a few ways you can check for freshness. First, take one needle and bend it between your fingers. The needle should bend easily. If it breaks or snaps, the moisture level is too low and the tree is not fresh. Next, take a branch and run it through your hand briskly. If only a couple of needles fall out, the tree is fresh. If several fall out, the tree not fresh. Finally, you can break off a small piece of a branch. Inside you should see a lime green color, sap should be oozing and it should smell fragrant. If you do not see green inside, it is not fresh.
