Love the look and fragrance of a fresh cut Christmas tree? Shopping for a Christmas tree is a holiday tradition for so many families. Greenland’s fresh trees are of the best quality, and to make shopping convenient and comfortable are hung in our covered greenhouse. Our stock arrives around the third week of November, but sells out quickly, so be sure to visit us early for best selection. Just for Kids! Once our fresh trees arrive, come see us in the Fresh Tree Greenhouse to go on a hunt for Elsie Elf and her friends! Return your completed activity sheet to Branches restaurant for a free hot chocolate! How to Care for your Fresh Cut Christmas Tree Think of your fresh cut tree as a rather large cutflower. Prior to taking your tree home, our staff will give it a fresh cut, to assist the tree in taking up sufficient moisture. Once home, place the tree in a stand with a water reservoir that holds at least 1 litre of water. Your tree may drink an entire litre a day for the first few days. Remember to check it a couple times a day to ensure the reservoir is kept full. Using warm water and tree preservative will also help to increase the life of your tree.
