Time for the annual Jaybeau Cut The Tree Tutorial.

Well it’s that time of year that I pull out my lumberjack roots, and share my extensive skills on how you cut down your Christmas tree!

Fresh Cut VS Artificial

We are a fresh cut tree, family. It started with my Dad. I need the scent of a fresh cut tree each year. It’s not Christmas to me, without the pine kneedle, sap smelling mess, we call Christmas.

Each year, I look forward to hitting the tree farm and asking the young bearded attendant:

Jaybeau:

Son, find me a tree that represents who I am. 

Bearded Attendant:

Sir, we don’t sell fake…

Tips To Keep The Tree Fresh

According to tree experts at Viewpoints:

Buy a big enough stand

Make sure your tree stand is big enough for the tree and the water it will need.

Water, water, water

Always keep fresh-cut trees in water.

Don’t add sugar, Sprite or any other additives, according to longtime Christmas tree farmer Damian Prause. He recommends watering trees twice a day, and even more often than that, in the beginning if you notice the tree drinking more water.

Location is key. Don’t place your tree in a window where it will get full sun. That will dry out the tree faster.

Jaybeau added tip: Ask the attendant to make a fresh cut at the bottom. It helps the tree drink better at home.

Ok here we go! Time for the Jaybeau Cut The Tree Tutorial! Merry Christmas!!
