Local gardening tips for the month of December include the following:
Branches of evergreen rhododendrons last for months in vases if never allowed to run out of clean water.
Low indoor humidity in winter can make cut Christmas trees dry out quickly. Before the needles start to drop from the tree, take it down. Don’t try to prolong a festive feeling by endangering your home and family with a dried-out, flammable tree.
Christmas trees absorb between two pints and one gallon of water per day so a tree stand that holds at least one gallon of water is recommended. Make sure to check the water level daily and supply fresh water as needed.
