We are proud to invite you, your family, and your loved ones to our Christmas Tree Farm in NJ. We look forward to welcoming you to our family farm for a fun day of cutting your own Christmas tree. If you have been asking, "Where can I cut my own Christmas tree," look no further. Once you've cut your tree and brought it home, the true work begins.
The idea of having a Christmas tree in the home is often a joyous thought. Unfortunately, keeping a healthy and happy Christmas tree in your home requires work and dedication. Below, we want to highlight the four main questions we hear when talking about Christmas trees in the home.
How Can I Prolong the Life of My Christmas Tree?
It is not uncommon for people to feel the Christmas spirit as soon as spooky season ends (Halloween). During this time, decorations come out of storage and get hung around the house. Many also want to bring the Christmas spirit home by getting a beautiful Christmas tree. The main problem with going to a Christmas tree farm NJ is keeping it alive till after Christmas (hopefully past New Year's).
Consider trying the following:
- Make a fresh cut half an inch from the base of the trunk right before setting up.
- Use a tree stand with adequate water capacity (one quart per inch of trunk diameter).
- Position the tree away from direct heat sources to avoid drying.
- Decorate with low-heat LED lights and turn them off when unattended.
- Maintain a cool room temperature to reduce the drying of the tree.
How Do I Childproof My Christmas Tree?
One reason Christmas trees are special is that they can bring the whole family together, which is becoming increasingly difficult in our modern, connected world. Old kids and teens know how to respect these trees and stay safe, but for young children and toddlers, unfortunately, that is not the case.
Keep your kids and tree safe by:
- Selecting a sturdy stand to prevent tipping.
- Removing small, detachable decorations and ornament hooks that are choking hazards.
- Using non-breakable ornaments like plastic or wood instead of glass.
- Covering string light sockets to prevent electrocution.
- Securing the top of the tree to a hook with a fishing line for added stability.

What Should I Do If My Christmas Tree Isn't Absorbing Water?
Even after being cut, trees need water to help them survive past Christmas. The same goes for fresh flowers, in that you put them in water to preserve them. Watering a plant seems like an easy task. However, there are times when Christmas trees stop absorbing water, which is bad for the tree.
Help your tree with the following tips:
- If the tree stops absorbing water, make another fresh cut to remove the sap seal.
- Ensure continuous water availability to prevent air bubble blockages.
- Allow time for freshly cut trees to start absorbing water.
- Check for and clear any sap or debris in the stand that could block water flow.
