Tree Care
IS YOUR TREE THIRSTY???
Take a look below to find out important ways to care for your tree.
Trees are much like us, they need water.
Just like you and I need to drink 8 glass of water a day, your new perfect tree also needs water.
A quart for every inch in diameter the tree trunk is.
That's a crazy amount of water!!
So the number one important thing you can do for your tree is keep the water coming.
"FRESH TREE CERTIFIED"
What makes our trees "Fresh Tree Certified"?
From the time our trees are cut to the time you put them in your car or truck the tree has been meticulously cared for,
by making sure it has been drinking water and will continue drinking water.
Our Farm was one of the first to promote and ensure that our trees are "Fresh Tree Certified".
To you the customer it means that your tree, when leaving this Farm is as fresh as possible.
HERE ARE A FEW OTHER WAYS TO CARE FOR YOUR TREE.
If you ever have question, feel free to connect with us and we will be happy to help.
Wash Your Tree
Sometimes the trees like to bring a little bit of nature home with them.
Having your tree shaken helps a lot with leaving the nature at the farm, but when you get home it's a good idea to give your tree a good spray down with water to help minimize the dust.
Watch Heat Sources
Try to keep your tree away from any heat source, such as a fireplace or a heating vent. If you need to place it by a heating vent that blows on the tree, or the room is warm, try to keep the vent closed. Keep in mind that the tree drinks lots of water, possibly up to 6 quarts a day!
Check the water level daily especially when your tree is first brought into the new warmer environment.
Check the water level.
Make sure that the tree pan has not run out of water. If it has, you can take a sharp knife and cut around the bark, exposing the cambium layer BELOW the water line. Remember if the water falls below the new cut it will stop absorbing water.
'Fresh Tree Certified'
Silveyville has a special relationship with our growers, this allows us the ability to have the trees cut just 2 days before we receive them here at the Farm.
When we receive our trees, we immediately, re-cut the trunks and place them in huge holding tanks that are filled with water. In the event the weather is a little warmer we also have misters that help to keep the humidity up around the trees.
The trees then get another fresh cut before being taken to our display areas. Once there they are then placed in green water pans. We check the water level nightly to ensure that the trees are in water until you pick that perfect tree.
