Beat Christmas tree itself: This is how it stays fresh until Christmas Eve!

Just in time for Christmas time, many families are drawn to the forests of Saxony to beat their own Christmas tree. The Sachsenforst invites you to the Advent weekends into its forest quarters, where private providers and state institutions such as the Saxon Forest invite you to self -harvest. Many people take the opportunity to find a really fresh tree on a festive trip with the family. This is not only a trip to nature, but also a tradition that belongs to many for Christmas, such as the Schmied family from the vicinity of Bautzen, who already knows its Christmas tree plantation from previous years, as MDR reported.

The way to the perfect tree

The trip to the Christmas tree plantation is a small odyssey for many; The Schmied family covers up to 20 kilometers from Bautzen to find the perfect tree in the Hohwald area. The father Christian emphasizes the importance of the fresh tree and the fun that the self brings with it. Other families, such as those of David and Sandra from Neustadt, also enjoy the excursion and the joint family experience in which mulled wine and cookies should not be missing. While the men are often reserved in the selection process, the women have the last word and often choose the most beautiful specimens, as was also the case with Sandra and David.

But it is not only important to select the perfect tree, but also to consider some important transport and nursing instructions to ensure the freshness of the tree by Christmas. As reports [br.de] (https://www.br.de/nachrichten/wissen/wie-anne-zum-weihnachtbaum-christ-christbaum-frisch-blindt ,rkitaos), you should make sure when transported that the tree does not protrude across the car. With an overlope of over one meter, a red cloth must be bound to the end of the end. It is also advisable to have the tree acclimatized in an unheated space before setting up in a warm. The correct handling of the water in the Christmas tree stand ensures that the tree remains fresh for a long time, which is a crucial criterion for many households.

When choosing the perfect tree, many also rely on sustainability and short transport routes. Every year, around 25,000 Christmas trees in the state forest of Saxony are beaten themselves, which guarantees the freshness and quality of the trees. This approach not only brings freshness, but also a cozy atmosphere to the domestic living room, while a traditional family experience is created, as MDR recently reported.
