So maybe you dont have enough room for a 94 foot spruce like theockefeller center tree. Fresh or faux, your Christmas Tree could be just as beautiful. Here to help us make the right choice, thomas harmon, he was the founder and ceo of ball some hills. Thanks for having me. Thank you. I guess people fall into two categories. You like real or those who like faux. Viewer heidi miller tweeting i love a fresh tree, mobile fur, i ive tried everything. So what could be going on there for her . Number one thing, get the freshest tree you can. I recommend if you can, go cut it down, if you dont live where trees grow well. Order them online now and have a farmer, theyll cut it down, slip it in a box and ship it. Thats the first thing. Second thing and youll appreciate this, if its 20 degrees outside and 70 in your house. That temperature can be a temperature shock. Get a fresh cut right into the water. If i since its cut, new cut, and that helps the water keep the tree alive. What about keeping water in that base. The key thing people dont necessarily know is that trees still alive. During the day when its warm and sunny, water gets sucked up. It comes back down at night. You want to keep it fresh. Fill it in the morning or else itll flood. Poskts of things, does that do anything . I dont think so. I dont. All right. So size. Whether its faux or real. You leave between that and the ceil kpg. Typically at least six inches, maybe a foot. The average house is eight foot ceiling. And people i think tend to forget about the lights. And the safety issue. We still have to be concerned about that, dont we . You have to be careful. You dont have a real tree for more than four weeks just from fire safety standards. If you want to put your tree up at thanksgiving, artificial is the safest way to i think this is kind of interesting. Pat from louisiana, her daughter, amanda, worked here. Last year pat wrapped her entire tree, lights, ornaments, and all, and artificial tree and stored it that way. What do you think. Theres three things you want to do storing an artificial tree. Store is in something that keeps from getting dusty. Second, you spent all this time fluffing it making it look good, that helps preserve it. Dont have pinched light strands and dont put it too hot. I always remember, my dad, we had a tree from i think it was montgomery ward, it was in a box and put it together. Aluminum one . It looked like it was supposed to look like a real tree. The technology, and they really look a lot different. Its changed a lot. This is a new type of plastic. And we actually use real clippings from trees from tree farms to make the molds for the artificial tree. Theyre much br how long should a good artificial tree last . Really long time. Theres trees from the 50s and 60s still in use. Its how you care for them. Thomas, well thanks so much. Merry christmas. Merry christmas.
