All around the world, Christmas trees have been decorated with grandeur, shining like a radiant lighthouse in anticipation of Christmas Day. After the holiday, artificial trees will be taken down and stored away until the next December. But what will you do with a real Christmas tree? These natural beauties require different care before, during, and after the holiday.
Here are some ways you can reuse a Christmas tree after the holiday.
Schedule with tree service providers
The easiest way for you to “dispose” of a natural tree is to contact your tree supplier. In most cases, when you buy a live tree from a nursery, the owner always has a buy-back policy for replanting in the next winter season. They may even have tree care services for you to pick it up whenever you need. So don’t worry and think that investing in a natural Christmas tree would be a waste.


Replant the tree
If you’re planning to replant your Christmas tree after the holiday, don’t hesitate to get yourself a live tree – meaning they still have their roots intact. Depending on where you want to plant, choose a tree size that fits. This way, the Christmas spirit will always fill your home.
Decorate your home
If your Christmas tree trunk is large enough, consider making some DIY decorations from the tree itself. Cut thin sections, then sand down both sides until smooth. Then apply a layer of polyurethane to keep the tree resin from leaking out and use it as a decorative piece in the kitchen or as a convenient coaster.
