Christmas Tree Not Drinking Water
Avoid spray on fire retardants and other products advertised to keep your tree fresh.
Christmas tree not drinking water. Why when christmas trees are cut the sap from the tree hardens and dries at the cut end. My guess is the bottom inch two or however many did dry up and the sap in there solidified to it can t soak up more water. You could always pull. Causes for a christmas tree not taking up water generally when christmas trees have problems taking up water it s because we tend to add products to the tree itself or the water.
Sometimes trees stop drinking water before the holiday season is over and end up dried out. Not exactly risk free to yourself or the tree though. Using a tree saw make a straight cut along the bottom of the trunk taking at least one inch off the original harvest cut and immediately place the new cut in water. You will need to refresh your christmas tree and open up the clogged cells so the tree can deliver appropriate moisture to the foliage.
