Keep your tree watered daily!

We recommend you make a fresh 2" cut from the base of your tree immediately before you place it in water & maintain your water level every day as done in the test below conducted by the NIST fire safety engineers.

A WET TREE IS A SAFE TREE!**
Wet trees tell a different story. For comparative purposes, the NIST fire safety engineers selected a green Scotch pine, had it cut in their presence, had an additional two inches cut from the trunk's bottom, and placed the tree in a stand with at least a 7.6 liter ( appx. 2 U.S. gallons) water capacity. The researchers maintained the Scotch pine's water on a daily basis. A single match could not ignite the tree. A second attempt in which an electric current ignited an entire matchbook failed to fire the tree. Finally they applied an open flame to the tree using a propane torch. The branches ignited briefly, but self-extinguished when the researchers removed the torch from the branches. As NIST fire safety engineers say: REMEMBER, A WET TREE IS A SAFE TREE!
