Now back to the OP. Get your live tree very soon. Most of the good trees will be gone by this weekend. We get ours Thanksgiving weekend. Cut two inches off the stump, add about a cap of bleach to your water so the tree doesn't seal over the cut. It will take a quart of water most every day for a week, after that not so much. Our trees last pretty good until New Years.
Merry Christmas!

Thanks!!! I wanted to go tonight as a result of this post, but my husband is exhausted from sealing the garage floor and doesn't want to budge from the house tonight. So we will be buying our tree tomorrow morning following your directions. (We never did the bleach thing...)
BTW, I think most of us know that Christmas trees sold by big stores come from growers and it is a harvest. Guess it does bear mentioning, so it seems.
Merry Christmas to you too and all who have so kindly offered their help! This is the coolest website.
