How to keep Christmas trees alive and well Keeping the needles on the Christmas tree, not on the gifts beneath it, means buying a fresh tree and keeping it moist. To determine if a tree ia fresh, bend the needlesauggeaUTrmr Cooper, Utah Stats University Extension Agent, Duchesne County. If the needles don't break, the tree usually ia fresh. Next, bounce the stump end on a firm surface. If needles fall, the tree may have dried out. However, he says, soma needles may hart collected on the tree branches from fall shedding, which ia normal for evergreens. After the tree has been pur- chased, keep it in a bucket of water until time to set it up. Then, cut an inch from the trunk and put tha tree in fresh water. p. Trees are thiraty, Cooper says. They use up to 2 quarts of water a day.

Putting chemicals in the water is thought to help little. When the tree stops taking up water and tha needles begin to dry out or drop, the tree becomes a fire hazard and should be removed. Cooper suggests setting the tree up away from heat sources such aa fireplaces, radiators, television sets ana heaters. Before the lights are strung, he says, check each string for cracks or worn insulation. Small or blinking electric lights reduce the trees demand for water and helps keep it from becoming a fire hazard. 20th Annual Santa's Worfishop -- HANDMADE CRAFTS" By Area Artists!
