Bought a Balsam Fir last week (about 5 days ago) Since we've gotten it home, it's done nothing but shed. You really don't want to even sneeze around the thing cause the needles start falling. The thing I don't get is that it is soaking up a quart and a half of water a day.
That's the last time I buy a Christmas tree from somebody who looked like they walked off the set of the Sopranos.
Who else is having this problem or has some recommendations?
to see if it is shedding. Seems to have worked so far. That's weird that it is still taking up a lot of water and shedding. I am sure there is a botanist or a garden person hereabouts who could tell you.
8. Aren't Balsams supposed to be fragrant as hell?
And don't go artificial! Christmas trees are a cash crop in these parts! I recommend Scotch pine. Lots of jutting, horizontal branches for properly displaying ornaments. Last year's tree was a beautiful tree at the farm, but it was so meticulously pruned that it looked more like a cylinder of compressed gas than a Christmas tree!
