Start out by selecting' a fresh tree and make an additional diagonal out about one inch above the original to permit tree to absorb water. he suggested. Of co rse.erect the tree away mm the fireplace or heater, water daily and avoid smoking near the tree.

Artificial trees made from a plastic material seem to be relatively safe. with a chemical added to retard fire or flame. Mr. Max does suggest people take the same precautions with these trees they would with a fresh tree.
