"Hew tan we aelee-t-sa,Clarietinas tree
that holds site neetliee?" is a; questiOri
Lathers and Suothera SS% year after
year.
The answer depends on the tyPe of
tree you buyaand the -Care you gliTe
Lt once you set it up.
All trees tend to drop their leaves
after• they are cut and stored ki a
dry twin. But some
kinds naturally , hold
, their needle* longer
than others. Treee
used post common-
ly on Christmas are
• the spruces, fir, hems
lock, pine and red
cedars.
Spruce are the first
icesbed their needles.
A spruce • can be
identified by grasp: -
beg a branch tightly.
Its sharp needles
will atria your hand.
The ideal Christ,.
,mas tree is the fir. It resembles the
spruce except that its needles are not
sharp. The needles stay on the tree
for a long time, and becorae a golden
brown before they finally drop Oil.
Neealles of the Douglas gr are flat and
soft to the touch. This popular tree
can be easily identified. by examining
the cones which have small appendages
on each side.
Pines have never been very -popular
as Christmas trees, in spite a the -MR
that they do -not-shed:their needles
eaeily. This 11.naestal1kilyadne to their
-liasspircietriThrls appearance which does
not closely resemble the traditional
Christmas tree.
No matter what kind of Christmas
tree you seleet, frWITI hold its needles
•longer if it is -standing in Water. Place
a little water in the base of your tree
stand and you will he bothered less
with falling needles than you were
last year.
