Selecting a Christmas Tree

Look for Trees that:

• Have a full and fresh appearance
• Have symmetrical and sturdy limbs
• Fit in your desired location. (Keep your ceiling height in mind!)
• Have a pleasant texture and smell.
• Can hold your decorations and ornaments. Larger ornaments need firmer branches.
