Here GardeningExpress\u2019 Chris Bonnett shares what their representatives look out for to ensure Christmas trees are healthy and will last until Christmas.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

For me having a beautiful, real tree is one of the most important parts of Christmas. But picking one that will last throughout the festivities isn\u2019t as easy as it may sound.<\/p>\n

There are certain things that will indicate if a tree is healthy enough to remain bright and lush throughout the holiday season.<\/p>\n

Our representatives keep an eye on our Christmas trees as they grow in sustainably sourced plantations to ensure all customers get a healthy tree that will keep its spark all the way until Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

One of the things they look out for are the colour and condition of the needles. Those with brown colouring indicate the tree is dying.\u00a0The smell of the tree is also very important, as long as it smells fresh and strong the tree should be healthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s are my signs for a healthy Christmas tree:<\/p>\n

1. Fragrance of tree<\/h3>\n

Different trees will have different scents but a strong, pleasant and fresh aroma is a good indication of a healthy tree. Musty and mouldy smells are signs of potential decay.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0<\/b>Evenly distributed branches<\/h3>\n

Evenly distributed branches show that a tree has been taken care of properly. Any bare spots show that the tree has been under stress meaning it won\u2019t last until Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

3. The colour<\/h3>\n

The first and easiest thing that tree shoppers should look out for is the colour – you want your tree to look as bright and green as possible. Don\u2019t forget to take a close look at the whole tree to make sure there isn\u2019t any grey or brown colouring.<\/p>\n
