NC State University Forestry Specialist Dishes the Goods On Christmas Trees

Jeff Owen is an area extension forestry specialist on Christmas trees at North Carolina State University. He says you can tell a lot about a tree’s health by its look. Whether you’re looking for the bushiest, tallest, or skinniest tree – take a look at the color. Owen said a dry tree will often be a paler green or yellow in tone. That’s one to skip. Is the tree cold to touch? If so, that means it’s nice and hydrated. Owen offers tips on shopping for your perfect Christmas tree in this report from WNCN.
