Types of Real Christmas Trees Available

When you visit The Range for real Christmas trees, you will encounter several popular varieties, each with its unique characteristics:

Norway Spruce

The Norway Spruce is a classic choice, known for its bushy appearance and vibrant green needles. It has excellent needle retention but does require regular watering.

Fraser Fir

Recognized for its strong branches and pleasant scent, the Fraser Fir is perfect for heavy ornaments. Its needles are soft to the touch and have excellent longevity.

Cohasset Fir

This tree type features a narrow, conical shape with a lovely fragrance, making it a fantastic option for smaller spaces.

Blue Spruce

With its striking blue-green needles, the Blue Spruce stands out as a beautiful centerpiece in any home. It's sturdy and can hold heavier decorations well.

Choosing the Right Size Tree

When selecting your real Christmas tree from The Range, the size of the tree is a crucial consideration. Here are some tips on choosing the right height:

• Measure your space: Always measure the height of your ceilings and the width of the area where you plan to place the tree.
• Consider the tree stand: Don't forget to account for the height that your tree stand will add to the overall height of the tree.
• Leave room for decorations: Ensure that there’s enough space above the tree for a star or an angel, as well as other decorations.

Caring for Your Real Christmas Tree

Once you've selected the perfect tree, caring for it will ensure it stays fresh and beautiful throughout the holiday season. Here’s how to take care of your Range Real Christmas Trees:

Watering

Your tree will consume a surprising amount of water in its first week indoors. Be sure to:

• Fill the tree stand with water immediately after setting it up.
• Check the water level daily and refill as necessary. A newly cut tree can absorb up to a gallon of water in the initial days.

Location

Choose a location for your tree that is away from heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, which can dry out the tree more quickly.

Needle Drop

Keep an eye on needle drop, which can indicate that your tree is losing moisture. Regular watering typically prevents excessive drop.

Decorating Your Real Christmas Tree

Once your tree is set up and cared for, it's time to have fun decorating! Here are some tips to create a stunning look:

Theme Selection

Decide on a theme for your decorations. Popular themes include:

• Classic Christmas: Red and green decorations with traditional ornaments.
• Winter Wonderland: All-white decor with silver and gold accents.
• Rustic Charm: Natural materials like burlap and wooden ornaments.

Lighting

Lighting is essential for setting the mood. Here are a few popular options:

• White Lights: Timeless and elegant.
• Multicolored Lights: Bright and festive, perfect for children's enjoyment.
• LED Lights: Energy-efficient and long-lasting.

Personal Touches

Incorporate personal items like family ornaments, handmade decorations, or even photos to make the tree your own.

Disposing of Your Real Christmas Tree

After the holidays, it's critical to dispose of your Christmas tree responsibly. Hurley’s Farm encourages eco-friendly practices, and here's how you can do your part:

• Recycling Programs: Many local municipalities offer recycling services for Christmas trees.
• Composting: If you have a compost pile, your tree can be added to it after stripping off the decorations.
• Yard Mulch: Cut the tree into smaller pieces to use as mulch in your garden.
