Shirley Bovshow's Christmas Tree Buying Tips
Shirley Bovshow shares tips to select the perfect Christmas tree from the lot. Once the tree is filling your home with love, Christmas cheer, and its signature scent, Shirley has important information to preserve its freshness. And, she explains how she built a pipe to easily water the tree without having to crawl underneath.
Tips:
1. Spray "Wilt-Pruf" on Christmas trees to increase lifespan,

2. Shake your Christmas tree before you buy it. If the needles fall off, it won't last.
3. Ask store employees to cut an extra inch off the trunk. 4. Keep Christmas trees at least three feet away from fireplaces, heaters, heat vents, and direct sunlight.
