Christmas Tree Care Tips from the Experts

Fir Trees Require a LOT of Water

The tree stand’s basin should be filled with freshwater that’s replenished every 24 hours. The basin should contain one quart of water for every inch of tree diameter. You can improve the tree’s water absorption by drilling a few half-inch holes on the side of the trunk below the water level.

Some tree maintenance services suggest placing some sugar in the water. This will act as a form of artificial sap for the tree to feed on. From our experience, adding sugar doesn’t make a significant difference, though it doesn’t hurt either. Feel free to try it, though plain water works just fine.

Keep the Tree Cool

Don’t place the tree in close proximity to heaters, fireplaces, heating vents, and direct sunlight. High temperatures will dehydrate the tree. A dehydrated tree will need more water.

Christmas Tree Examination

Here’s a useful tip to discern between a vibrant and ill-health fir tree at a Christmas tree lot. Give the tree a good shake; if many needles come trickling down, then it’s in poor shape. A healthy tree should firmly hold onto the needles.

Need Tree Trimming, Removal, or Pruning Service?

With the holidays also come windy and frosty weather. Call Pro-Cut Tree Service for any emergency tree service on your property. The weather during this time of year may cause damage from toppling trees and flying limbs. Compromised trees need to be removed or properly pruned to make them less of a safety hazard. With correct Christmas tree care, your tree will be an ambient focal piece throughout the joyous holidays.

Erik and his crew showed up on time. The men were very professional and super nice. They removed our tree so fast and did an amazing job. Erik gave us a great quote prior to the work and we were scheduled and work completed in less then 2 wks! I would highly recommend these guys and will be using them again for sure for future work!

Very professional service. I am very happy with the work and a cleanup. Had to cut two trees in pretty close quarters and everything went really well

Second time I’ve used them. As always Eric and his crew did a fantastic job, extremely polite & professional. I wouldn’t use another service. Highly recommended!!! If you want honesty & integrity PRO CUT is who you need. Thank you so much for your hard work.. It’s nice to know that hard working, honest people who care about what they do still exist.

Called to inquire about tree pick-up (one already long dead and already removed). Phone was answered promptly and Erik was willing to schedule it same day! I has to cancel the request due to scheduling conflict but even then, received quick confirmation that my voicemail was received. Should future needs arrive or referral needed, Pro-Cut Tree Services are the ones I'll turn to first.

Erik and his team were timely, affordable, professional and very respectful. As I read in a review before hiring Pro-cut, I admire Erik as an owner, being the first one up a tree. All the guys knew their trees and what they were doing, and I really appreciated that. I'd reccomend them, any day!

As the other reviewer mentioned, I too got a bid that was jaw dropping. Eric came out and gave me a bid that was much more reasonable. They dropped 2 huge hemlocks, branch by branch, piece by piece, into a rather small landing zone. I asked that they not drop anything on my pricey concrete work and to avoid some old cedar stumps that are an integral part of the landscaping. They were on-site for 1.5 days and each day they cleaned up the sidewalks and left things neat & tidy. I will be happy to do business with Pro-Cut Tree Services again and highly recommend them based on the value & workmanship they brought to the job.
