Atlanta Tree Services Co. Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts Offers Advice on Choosing and Maintaining a Christmas Tree

    ATLANTA, GA, December 21, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Atlanta tree services company Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts is happy to share some tips on how to choose a Christmas tree and keep it healthy during the holiday season.

"If you haven't bought your tree yet, there is no need to be concerned," assures Gary Robertson, owner of Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts. "Many lots will still have a good selection of trees available, and the shorter amount of time left before the holidays means that less effort will be required to keep the tree in good condition before the big day."

When choosing a tree, it is important to look for a tree that is as fresh as possible. You can test this by shaking the tree and observing how many needles fall off. The more needles that fall off, the less fresh the tree. The trunk will also need to be cut fresh in order for the tree to be able to absorb enough water. You should be able to have the trunk re-cut at the lot where you purchase the tree.

Once you bring the tree home, you should put it in water immediately. Make sure that the water level does not get too low, as the tree may otherwise begin to dry out. It is also important to remember that evergreen trees thrive in cooler temperatures, so you should keep your tree away from direct heat sources such as fireplaces and air vents. Larger bulb string lights can also generate heat, so LED lights are a better choice. Another way to keep the tree looking fresh and green for longer is to spray it with an anti-desiccant, which will prevent the foliage from drying out too quickly.

These tips will help you keep your Christmas tree looking good inside your home; when it comes to your outdoor trees, Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts is the source to call for any of your Atlanta tree services needs, including Atlanta tree removal and pruning.
