SAN ANGELO, TX - Families eager to deck the halls this holiday season should wait until the first weekend of December to set up their Christmas trees, experts say.
This timing ensures a fresh and fragrant tree that will last throughout the season, avoiding the droopy, dry branches often seen with trees put up earlier.
The recommendation comes from Palm Paradise Realty Group, which highlights that the longevity of a real tree—typically four to five weeks after being cut—makes early December the ideal time for setup. Waiting until then not only maximizes freshness but also aligns with sustainable practices by reducing the need for excessive watering and preservatives.
For those looking to extend holiday cheer without compromising tree quality, the experts suggest using artificial trees for early decorating or as supplemental decor.
“Most artificial trees look very realistic and can be reused every year,” they note, adding that households with multiple trees often keep artificial ones for early displays.
