Green will be long and it shall stand. Since the Christmas tree was introduced in Norwegian homes from severe about 100 years ago, we have concerned us for the same: how to keep the needles on the tree and not in a heap on the floor?
There is no shortage of advice. The plantation Information Office for Christmas trees has produced a number of Christmas common sense rules for you and I’ll get the all-time Christmas tree this year.
What to look for when buying wood:
- Ask when the tree is cut down.
the Christmas tree will stand as long as possible without residues, it should be field earlier in mid-November. Ask why when tree felled when shopping.
- Run your fingers through the needles.
If the needles fall easily when you drag your fingers through the branches, it is a bad sign. Take time to find a tree where the needles are tight.
- Check needles by the tribe.
Although the Christmas tree looks good at first glance, you should always check whether the needles on the inner stem is healthy and fine.
When you get home:
- Not right into your living room.
tree has the best it can acclimate in a medium cold room before taking it into the living room. garage if you have a basement or away. Also remember to remove the mesh stocking when you put the Christmas tree for acclimatization.
- Give the tree a heat shock, advises Forest and Landscape’s Christmas tree guide.
Hot vann.Skjær of an inch of stem. set foot in the water at 60-70 degrees, or the hottest water from the water heater yours. It will prevent the tree from clogging the pores with resin.
- Think of the tree as a cut flower.
Give it often and much water as long as it’s in the living room. Is Christmas tree foot small does it perhaps one to two times a day. No water with cold water.
- Choose the right Christmas tree.
Trees suck water between the bark and the wood, and the suction power is weakened if we whittle the stem. A Christmas tree is treated as a cut flower. Therefore with foot Christmas tree when you get the three.
A living tree – literally
When we take a fresh Christmas tree in the living room follows that between 10,000 and 20,000 living with insects. there is nothing to worry about, according Christmas tree guide to Forest and Landscape:
Unfortunately for the micro-organisms, we have it pretty dry in our houses. Many small animals dries fast and die. There is not much Christmas food to them.
Those who do not die of drought, probably starving to death rather quickly.
We do not have to worry as much about small animals on Christmas trees. Not sticking us, do not eat the wood in houses and furniture, they hardly like Christmas ribs and they have hardly any preference or advantage to be in our living rooms.
healthy trees are less creep than weak. It is therefore enough to buy healthy trees, shake them well and taking them into the living room. Some will certainly try to spray the trees with insect spray. Just remember that insect sprays are less healthy than small animals, there will be more work and not to mention expensive.

Christmas tree history
Taking into greenery as holly and fir or pine branches during the Christmas holidays, the old tradition in Norway.
The first source on the Christmas tree which is found in Norway, is from 1822. Johan Sebastian Welhaven mentioned the Christmas tree in a poem from 1836, Henrik Wergeland in “Winter Song” in 1840.
In 1850 – and 60 years was the Christmas tree known in the cities and in some families in the country. It was only from the 1880s and well late 1900s that the Christmas tree was in general use throughout the country.
We use 1.9 million Christmas trees each year, the vast majority are Norwegian. Around 300,000 are imported, mainly from Denmark.
