According to Niemann, the tree should never be allowed to dry out, so make sure that its stand is always filled. Water is the most important part of Christmas tree care. "If they're left unattended, then 2 weeks is a more realistic timeframe," he adds. A fresh-cut Christmas tree typically lasts 3 to 4 weeks with proper care. Below, we spoke with experts about how long you should expect your Christmas tree to last and how to keep it healthy. There are many important factors to consider, including where your tree is from, decorations, and needle drop.
“[It's] a sign that the tree is dried out and should be removed." “When the needles hit the floor, get the tree out the door,” says Busher. “[They] consume much less energy and emit 10 times less heat than traditional incandescent lights,” says Busher. A decorated tree is a beautiful one, but if you're going to use lights, opt for LED options. “Before placing the tree in the stand, give the trunk a fresh cut by removing the bottom half inch,” he says.
Plenty of improvements followed as a host of drivers exchanged the fastest lap time and McLaren finally found their pace, with Norris claiming P1 ahead of Piastri. While learning about performance on the hard tyres was clearly the main order of the day, Hadjar was one of the first to make the switch to soft tyres with 10 minutes remaining, rapidly dialling them in to shoot to first place. They weren’t the only ones struggling to get on top of the tricky combination of breezy conditions and a lack of grip on the smooth track. Around the halfway point, the track quietened down as teams called their drivers back into the pits, with Russell firmly in P1 with an advantage of two tenths over Verstappen. After adjusting his set-up back in the garage, his first attempt to set a faster lap saw him drive wide, kicking up dust and leaving him P20.

If you decide on a real tree, however, then you may be wondering how long it will live—and how to keep it thriving for as long as possible. They're the perfect way to spread holiday cheer, but they don't last forever. The Australian came back with a few minutes to go, but only 0.058s separated him from his team mate as he finished with a time of 1m 20.294s.
South Africa thrashed Wales 73-0 in the final game of the international season, but despite the margin of victory, the Springboks earned no ranking points boost for the result. “Use one that has a trough large enough to hold the tree and an adequate amount of water,” says Busher. “I recommend running your hand along a branch and selecting a tree that doesn't shed needles,” says Niemann. Start by choosing a healthy tree that feels fresh and flexible. Gently bend a branch when you're watering the tree—if it seems brittle or breaks, then the tree should be removed.
