Live Christmas Trees

  • We sell Colorado Spruce and Dwarf Alberta Spruce in pots for live Christmas trees.
  • Trees can only be inside for about a week. If they are inside any longer than that the trees will break dormancy. They have not had a long enough dormant period yet so they may not survive.
  • Ideally there should be a hole dug for the tree before the ground freezes so the tree can be planted right away. If there isn’t a hole it can be heeled in with wood chips or some kind of mulch. Or stored in an unheated or slightly heated building and watered a few times.

Other Christmas Tree Tips

  • Trim ½” to 1” off the butt of the tree (a fresh cut) before you put the tree in the stand so that the tree can absorb the maximum amount of water.
  • Keep the tree watered, it will soak up the most water in the first few days and taper off from there.
  • Use of a preservative like Tree Life can prolong the length of time a tree holds up well.

Gifts for gardeners at Cashman Nursery include: Gift Certificates, Felco pruners, gardening tools, books, and attractive containers.

Merry Christmas! 2010 - Cashman Nursery - Bozeman, MT
