Christmas Trees only drink water thru the cambium layer and that is why a fresh cut before going into the house is recommended.. After a tree is unwrapped and the loose needles shook out no needles should fall nor be able to be pulled easily from that tree. If they do there is a problem with freshness.

How does Salomaa Tree Plantation keep its trees fresh?

• By not cutting too early.
• By placing all trees cut daily in a “UNIQUE” holding area in an upright . position. Butts on the ground still soaking up moisture. (Tree does not know it was cut).
• Trees are out of the sun and wind. And still drinking water.

Ask any of our customers what they like best about a Salomaa Christmas tree and they will say because they hold their needles and color past the new year without a problem.
