If you want a beautiful Christmas tree that looks like it is out of a catalog, it's best to head to a Christmas tree lot. However, you'll find a lot of trees to choose from and there are several characteristics to look for.
Size
One of the biggest mistakes that are made when purchasing a Christmas tree is that the customer purchases a tree that is too small or too large. If your Christmas tree doesn't fit in your home, the top of the tree will be pushed downward and that will look terrible. Instead, you will want to measure the size of your home and leave space for the top of the tree so you can fit a star or angel on top.
Shape
Look at the different types of trees, and think about which type is appealing to you. There is no right type of Christmas tree shape, only the type that you prefer. You may even want a small Charlie Brown Christmas tree! There are some trees that are long and skinny. There are other trees that are short and fat. The perfect tree is usually considered to be the cone-shaped one. Try to picture what a type of tree might look like in your home before choosing it.
Type
There are different types of Christmas trees to choose from. The spruce trees have sharp needles, and they can hurt your kids if they step on them. For that reason, a family will get the pine or fir tree.
Freshness
Check the freshness of the Christmas tree. The needles of the Christmas tree should be attached to the branches. If the tree isn't very fresh, when you grasp it with your hand, the needles will come off easily. However, when the Christmas tree is cut and shipped, the tree will often lose some needles. This is the result of the tree being placed under stress and is normal.
Color
Look for a Christmas tree that has a beautiful color. Not only will you enjoy the color of your Christmas tree, but the color also affects the health of the tree. When a Christmas tree is healthy, it will have a rich and even color. When it becomes less healthy, it will begin to look dull grey.
After your tree has arrived, you'll need to freshen the trunk. You'll want to cut off the bottom of the tree so that it can absorb more water, which will make the tree fresher. The faster you place your tree in water, the fresher it will be and the better it will look on Christmas.
