The Perfect Christmas Tree... • Determine where in your home you will display your tree. This will help you on determining the height of your tree and if all four sides must be suitable for display. • Measure and measure again. Don't forget to allow room for the treetop decoration! Also, Keep in mind that trees look smaller when they are outdoors, so be sure to measure the tree that you choose before bringing it home. • Choose a stand that is sturdy and holds AT LEAST 1 gallon of water. • The tree should have a good fragrant aroma and dark, green color. • Take a tarp or an old blanket to wrap the tree in and rope to secure it to the top of your car. • It is best to store your tree outside, in a cool place protected from the sun until you are ready to set up and decorate the tree. Be sure that the base of the trunk is submerged in water until you are ready to bring it inside. SELECTING 42 NORTH CAROLINA CHOOSE & CUT GUIDE WATAUGA
