Can I Bring My Dog?
Please leave your dog at home or in your vehicle. Anyone who has visited Lum Farm knows we have already reached our quota of canine choas.
Special thanks to Eric for making the trek off island (twice) to make sure we have trees on the island!
How to Care for Your Farm-Grown
Christmas Tree
Use lots of water!!!
Once home, place the tree in water as soon as possible. If needed, trees can be stored for several days in a cool location. Place the freshly cut trunk
in a bucket that is kept full of water.
Putting your tree in a stand:
• Don’t whittle the sides of the trunk down to fit a stand.
• Make a fresh cut to remove a 1/2-inch thick disk of wood from the base of the trunk before putting the tree in the stand. (We can do that for you at the farm)
Check the stand daily and add water if needed.
Watch the temperature:
• Keep trees away from major sources of heat (fireplaces, heaters, heat vents, direct sunlight).
• Always turn off the tree lights when leaving the house or when going to bed.
