However, this rule is rarely practiced, much more often we dress a week or even earlier. So when to do it? Actually, when If we want, we can decorate the tree.

We should not decorate live trees too early, because after a few weeks their needles fall off and they start to look worse. The most popular black spruce will easily survive in your home for about 3-5 weeks if it has been freshly cut. Norway spruce is slightly less durable and will remain in perfect condition for about 2-3 weeks. We often choose pine, this species will last about a month.
If we want the Christmas tree not to lose its needles too quickly, we should make sure to provide it with large amounts of waterand place it away from radiators.
