How to Choose a New Year Tree So That It Does Not Shed: 6 Tips from Experts.

According to ТСН: The purchased New Year tree may lose its needles as early as the next day and look wilted, which undoubtedly spoils the festive mood. How to choose a quality tree to avoid this?

What to Pay Attention to When Choosing a Tree:

• Choose a tree height so that there is at least 40 cm between its top and the ceiling. Don’t forget that a Christmas star will be on top. For standard apartments, the optimal tree height is about 1.5–2.3 m with ceiling heights of 2.7–3 m.

• Pay attention to the thickness of the trunk: it should be at least 6–7 cm. A trunk that is too thin will not withstand the weight of the decorations, so the branches may bend or even break.

• A healthy tree has soft needles, and the branches are flexible—they easily bend and immediately return to their previous shape. Such a tree will last a long time without shedding.

• The needle color should be rich green, with possible shades from silvery to blue. If you notice reddish or yellow tones, it indicates dehydration—such a tree will quickly lose its needles.

• Detach a few needles and smell them. A strong pine aroma is a sign of freshness. If the scent is faint, the tree may have frozen or dried out.

• Gently shake the branches. If the needles immediately fall off, such a tree will not last long. A fresh and healthy tree has firm, smooth needles that stay in place.

Careful selection and a few simple checks will help keep your New Year tree fresh and beautiful throughout the festive season.

Remember that a properly chosen tree will become a bright part of your New Year celebrations and add comfort to your home. By following these simple tips, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the tree wherever it stands.
