Finding a fresh tree is as easy HEALTHY After shopping, stop by and re-energize with our as the snap of a needle delicious baked goods and nutritious smoothies! By Kym Pokorny CORVALLIS — You’re ready to get out the lights, the garlands, the baubles and balls, but don’t get ahead of yourself. “Know how to choose a fresh tree and how to keep it that way or you’ll be disappointed,” said Chal Landgren, a Christmas tree special- ist with Oregon State University’s Extension Service. “It’s also not safe to have a dried-out tree in the house, so it’s doubly important to know what to do.” A lot of information swirls around the issue of Christmas tree freshness. Q: How do I know a tree is fresh when I purchase it? A: Choose a tree that looks green and healthy with needles that snap like a fresh carrot. Shake it a few times to get rid of old needles. Q: Do I need to re-cut the stem after I get my tree home? A: Yes, if more than 24 hours has elapsed since the stem was last cut. The fresh cut helps water uptake, and the sooner you can get the tree into water, the fresher it will be. SOMETHING FOR EVERY DIETARY NEED! GLUTEN-FREE | DAIRY-FREE | VEGAN | RAW 121 W.
