1. Picking the right tree

Find a tree with fresh green needles, that do NOT fall off when touched.

2. Proper placement of the tree

Prior to setting up the tree, cut approx. 2 inches from the trunk.

Your tree needs to be at least 3 feet away from any heat source, i.e. fireplaces, heat vents, etc.

Do not block any exits with your tree.

Add water daily.

3. Lighting your tree

Use appropriate lights and make sure they are UL listed.

Replace any old strings of lights

Always check manufactures instructions for how many strands you can connect.

DO NOT EVER use lit candles to decorate your tree. 

Do not leave your tree light on when going to bed or leaving your home.
