Are imported trees always drier than
locally grown trees because of differences in harvesting
dates?
Research has shown that trees shipped into
markets from some of the major Christmas tree production
areas generally arrive with as high a moisture level as
"fresh" cut locally-grown trees. Generally, the handling of
trees on the retail lots has the greatest effect on their
moisture levels (freshness) and quality.
What's the best way to prevent trees from drying out?
Trees being stored should be held in a shaded area that is
protected from temperature extremes and wind.
In most cases, covering trees with shade cloth, burlap or
boughs and spraying the piles with water is more effective
than using plastic, which may allow light to pass through it
and result in damage to the trees.
Will spraying trees in hot climates cause the needles to
discolor?
The greatest
potential for drying occurs once the trees are unbaled and
displayed. Retailers can significantly reduce the rate of
drying on trees displayed by spraying their foliage during
the night and early morning.
Keeping Trees fresh on a retail lot.
The greatest
way to keep trees fresh, if available is to stand them on
their trunks in a grass or earth area with shaving or
sawdust under them. Watering the ground area will
allow the tree to take moisture in the trunk and keep it
as fresh as if it was planted. If storing on concrete or
asphalt it is important to stand trees if possible to spray
water under them for evaporation to keep them fresh.
If trees must be stacked on their side, they need to have
shade cloth covering them to keep the Sun's rays from drying
them.
