Because there is space between the branches, the Fraser is easier to decorate than some trees. The firm branches hold heavier ornaments. The trees grow to almost perfect shapes, and as long as the cut tree is kept properly watered, the Fraser Fir has excellent needle retention.

Here are some tips to caring for your fresh-cut Christmas tree

• Select a fresh tree by looking for one that is green and sheds very few green needles when it's shaken.
• Natural trees that will not be brought indoors right away should be stored in a cool place, such as a porch or unheated garage. Once the tree is ready to be displayed and decorated, make a one-inch cut from the base of the trunk to allow the tree to more easily absorb water and resist drying. Your friendly Alsip Home & Nursery Associate can cut the truck for you when you purchase your fresh-cut Christmas tree.
• Place the tree in a sturdy stand that holds at least a gallon of water and replenish the water frequently. A healthy tree may use several quarts of water each day.
• Check that Christmas tree lights are in proper working order before hanging them on the tree. It is important that consumers only use Underwriters Laboratory (UL)-approved lights. All Christmas lights sold at Alsip Home & Nursery are UL approved.
• Unplug all lights when no one is at home and when it's time to go to bed for the night.
• Never use electrical cords that are frayed, or cords with cracked insulation or broken or empty sockets. Never overload electrical circuits.
• Keep fresh-cut trees away from fireplaces, wood stoves, furnace vents, space heaters and any appliances that generate heat and could cause a fire or accelerate drying.
• After the holiday season, remove the lights and decorations and move the tree outdoors for recycling or for use as a winter bird habitat
