Fresh-Cut Christmas Tree FAQ
How long do fresh-cut Christmas trees last?
A fresh-cut Christmas tree can last 3 to 5 weeks with proper care. The key is to get it into water immediately after cutting and keep the stand filled daily. If the base dries out, the tree can no longer absorb water and will dry quickly.
What’s the best way to keep a fresh tree from drying out?
To keep your tree fresh:
- Cut the base (about ½ inch) before placing it in water
- Use a stand that holds at least a gallon of water
- Check water daily—trees can drink a lot in the first week!
- Keep it away from heat sources like vents, fireplaces, or sunny windows
When is the best time to buy a fresh-cut tree in Central Ohio?
The weekend right after Thanksgiving is the most popular time to cut your own tree, but many farms open mid-to-late November. If you want the best selection of trees or a specific type (like Fraser Fir), early shopping is ideal. Visiting later in the season means smaller crowds, but tree availability may be limited.
How do I dispose of a real tree after the holidays in Columbus?
Most Central Ohio cities offer curbside Christmas tree pickup for composting. Trees must be free of decorations, tinsel, and plastic. Alternatively, check with your local parks department or compost facility—some accept drop-offs in early January.
Do local tree farms offer tree-shaking or netting?
Yes! Many Central Ohio farms offer tree-shaking to remove loose needles and critters, as well as netting to make transport easier. Some also offer saws, sleds, and staff assistance—call ahead to confirm services at your preferred farm.
Are pets safe around fresh-cut Christmas trees?
Fresh trees aren’t toxic to most pets, but they can be a tempting chew toy or climbing challenge. Keep cords and ornaments out of reach, cover the water reservoir (some trees release sap or chemicals), and supervise curious pets to prevent accidents.
