What date about do you put up your Live Christmas Tree?

[JKMastalski]

I was thinking around the 13th...DH said he wants it up around the 5th...Is that too early to put up if I want it to live until around New Years???

If you visit a tree farm and cut down your own, then it will make it. If you purchase it from a place, chances are...the tree was cut down weeks before! It probably wouldn't last...but then again we have had 1 or 2 trees that have lasted! When choosing a tree, check the needles to see how soft there are and how easily they fall from the branch. Also, we add a tiny bit of syrup into the water in the tree stand!

If I cut it myself, 10 to 14 days before Christmas and it comes down New Years Day. If I buy it precut, around the 18th of Dec or so.

we have always bought trees (pre-cut) from local side places......I always put them up byt Dec 1 and take them down like the first or second week of Jan.....never had a problem.

I always put it up the weekend after Thanksgiving and take it down Dec 26th. As long as its halfway decent for 12/24 Im happy. But, this year we will be in WDW from the 20th-29th and I plan to do my usual "Christmas Eve" party on New Years Eve, LOL, so I will be putting it up later and keeping it up later this year. Im thinking Ill get it on the 7th.

We always cut our own around the 10th, put it up right away, and take it down on New Years Day.

To put up our Christmas Tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

 

[skuttle]

We always go get our tree either the Friday, Saturday or Sunday after Thanksgiving. This year we'll probably get it on the Saturday since we're going to the LSU game on the Friday. Our tree usually survives until after New Years.

 

[ToyStory Fan]

We do ours the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We cut it fresh ourselves from a tree farm and it last well beyond the New Year.

We usually get our tree the first week of Dec. and it lasts til the 1st of Jan.
