-
Warm the tree
gradually by bringing it in the garage for a couple of days. Reverse
the process when taking it outside again.
-
Keep the tree
indoors for a short time, five to seven days maximum.
-
Do not let the
tree dry out. Moisture will be depleted quickly indoors. Soak the root
ball thoroughly before and after it is taken indoors.
-
Use ice cubes (at
least two trays a day) for slow absorption of water. Check frequently
to make sure it stays moist.
-
Use
a container that allows for some drainage but will also protect your
carpet or floor.
-
Make
planting your tree a family event. Use the contact list to find a
donation site and ask if you can participate in planting your tree.
