Tips for buying a Christmas tree: One, do a freshness test. Gently grasp a branch between your thumb and forefinger and pull it toward you. Very few needles should come off in your hand if the tree is fresh. Two, shake or bounce the tree on its stump. You should not see an excessive amount of green needles fall to the ground. Some loss of interior brown needles is normal and will occur over the lifetime of the tree. Three, make sure the handle or base of the tree is straight and six to eight inches long so it will fit easily into the stand.
