Whether your Christmas tree is fir or spruce, the recovery of conifers used for the end-of-year celebrations is somewhat risky. How to replant a Christmas tree?
Some outlets offer container-grown trees. If you want to fill your garden, these plants can be planted after the holidays by following a few instructions.
On the other hand, fir trees and other spruce trees, uprooted and potted just to give a little hold (fir trees sold in root balls) will not look like the King of the Forests for long.
In any case, before planting, be sure to provide space for your Christmas tree, its span at the base can reach 8 meters. You won't be able to carve it without causing a cut...in the contract of aesthetics.
Before planting, place the tree in a cool, bright place (garage) to allow it to get used to the outside temperature, and water it. You will wait for the thaw to put it in the ground.
In the meantime, make a big hole, after the overflow of holiday calories and by minus 5°C, it's a very good exercise!
Plug part of the hole. This is not masochism, the tree needs loose soil for good rooting.
Plant your tree and stake it if necessary. Be careful, a conifer has a good wind resistance.
Water it and mound the foot to prevent the surface roots from freezing.
At this time, if you still see the needles shaking strongly, redo a hole to dissipate the alcohol vapors... and tell yourself that it will be better tomorrow!
