Christmas Tree Resources

We recommend that you have 9" and 12" of open space from the top of your Christmas tree to your ceiling. This will give you room for your tree topper, and allow proper airflow giving your tree room to grow and not looking crunched.

We do recommend that if you do purchase a real Christmas tree that you cut roughly half an inch (½) and set in water immediately. A fresh-cut tree will absorb several quarts of water right from the start. Throughout the first week be sure to check the water levels several times a day and make sure you refill your tree's water as needed. You can cut down on frequency later. Be sure to place your Christmas tree in a stand that has a large water reservoir and keep it filled. Check out our expansive line of Christmas tree stands to find the right one for you.

Yes, due to the sizes of the trees, they are shipped via common carrier and will only be delivered to commercial locations. These locations must have an off-street receiving dock. If the ship-to-location is not able to receive common carrier shipments, the customer will be responsible for all shipping charges.

Please note that the sizes of these tree components will require several workers to unload the tree from the carrier's truck. It is the responsibility of the customer to make proper arrangements for unloading the tree.
