Here are some pointers from the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) on buying, mount ing and decorating your tree. Test fo r freshness Think fresh, moist and green when shopping for a natural tree. As a test, "thump the stump" of the tree on the ground or pull lightly on a limb. If many needles fall off or needles can be easily pulled off, the tree is too dry. Trees are thirsty A dry tree is hazardous, so maintain its moisture content at all times. Before setting it up, trim 5 centimetres (2 inch es) diagonally from the stem so the tree can absorb water. Mount it securely in a large reservoir stand filled with at least 7.5 litres (2 gallons) of water. Add water each day as needed to keep the water level above the cut. One tip is to add ice cubes to the stand: the tree gets a steady supply of water as the ice cubes melt.
