Tips on Selecting a Real Tree at a Choose-Your-Own Farm

Source: National Christmas Tree Association

• Evaluate your need before departing for the farm
• Measure the ceiling height in the room where the tree will be displayed. The trees in the field look small when the sky is the ceiling. Don't overbuy.
• Measure the width of the area of the room where the tree will be displayed. Most trees on tree farms are trimmed to an 80% taper. So a tree that's 10' tall will be 8' wide at the bottom. A tree that will fit in the room vertically may be entirely too big horizontally.
• What decorating theme will be used? Some species have more open foliage, stiffer branches or longer needles. Research the characteristics of the different species before you shop!
