Attention: a live fur-tree

Attention: a live fur-tree

New year not far off. And one of the major purchases who to you should get... No, it at all a festive attire. It is a fur-tree - an ordinary prickly fragrant New Year tree. Live, instead of artificial or drawn. And whether you know what to choose a fur-tree it is necessary not less carefully, than the dress for a New Year's party? Otherwise both that and another threaten to turn back to you a headache and absolutely unfestive efforts.

So, you have decided, that on a holiday your sight will be charmed by the present live prickly fragrant fur-tree. If you do not have kind relatives and friends who will bring to you a fur-tree from wood, certainly (and, certainly, chopped duly) it is necessary to go on a fur-tree market. To do it it is better some days prior to New year: as a rule, at this time it is possible to find rather charming and fluffy copies of fur-trees. That who will be late, in most cases it is necessary to be content with the "grown bald" trees. By the way, gathering behind a fur-tree, take with itself a strong cord or a twine - it will be more convenient to bear purchase.

At a fur-tree choice remember height of ceilings in your apartment and the sizes of a premise as a whole. It is not excluded, that you would like to get an enormous tree. Remember! In a small room too big fur-tree will be looked by the savage, and also will partition off all premise and will stir to pass of people.

By the way, if on a market you managed not too fluffy tree, do not despair. First of all define, where at your purchase the most magnificent and green party. Then find in a room the most suitable corner and establish a fur-tree, as an izba in a fairy tale - "to you - the rehouse, and to wood back": so that the baldish ordinary-looking half has appeared at a wall, and beautiful green "facade" - on a kind.

To choose the wood beauty rather simply: be guided by colour of greens and a wooliness. Experts suggest to pay attention to weight, a thickness of a trunk, "quality" of needles and needles smell still. As a rule, fur-trees on sale cut in the put term, on reaching eight-year age and in this case at tree height in one and a half metre in normal weight it is considered five kgs, and all is better seven.

Further: experts in the field of green plantings have an opinion, that if at a fur-tree very thin trunk is a sign of illness. At a healthy tree "trunk" in a grasp should be not less than 6 centimetres. Needles at a fresh fur-tree of bright green colour. Slightly потрите needles between fingers: if a tree fresh you will feel easy oiliness and a fragrant smell of needles. If the smell is not present, and needles dry to the touch - something means, with a fur-tree not that, most likely, it has got frost-bitten.

One more stage of check: accurately unbend pair of branches of a chosen tree: at a fresh fur-tree of a branch elastic, and at the dry break off with a characteristic crash. If you on imprudence buy a dry fur-tree already in couple of days it will start to be showered, and to Christmas you will have only a skeleton covered with toys.

To you has carried: it was possible to choose a quite good qualitative fur-tree and you, happy, drag it home. More cautiously, will not spoil all already at this stage of "delivery"! The bought tree needs to be born a top back - that not обтрепать the ends of the bottom branches. However to bring in apartment a fur-tree it is necessary on the contrary - forward not "feet", and "head" - that is top.

If you have got a fur-tree beforehand to approach "hour икс" to hold it better on a cold: having hung out for a window or having put on a balcony. However even if you have bought a fur-tree directly on December, 31st at once to bring it in a warm premise, it is impossible to establish and decorate in no event: from such difference of temperatures the fur-tree can be ill and lost. Take it some hours on a cold balcony or on a loggia, and then bring in apartment.

If you all the same did not manage to place a fur-tree on storage in "frosty" conditions try such recipe: day for two before installation lower the trunk end in a bucket with water with addition of 3 4 table spoons of glycerine. It should help your fur-tree with "adaptation" and - in an ideal - to prolong her life.

So, long-awaited day has come: you have brought a fur-tree in the house and start to not palatable (that to dissemble!) to process of its installation. But preliminary take advantage of one more of professional advice. And they advise a tree trunk from below to clear of a bark on 6-10 sm, остругать its sharp knife, to open a fresh time. Still recommendations: to cut top ate obliquely, and a fresh cut to spread with ointment Vishnevsky. All together should help to a fur-tree to hold on longer.

To establish a fur-tree it is recommended day two-three days prior to New year. And one of the most important rules: do not put a tree near to heating devices and batteries, and also avoid hit of a direct sunlight.

For fur-tree installation it is possible to use a special support or any strong deep vessel (for example, a bucket either big enough pan or a pot). To strengthen a trunk it is possible by means of extensions, wooden laths, a cord. That the vessel did not clash with festively decorated fur-tree, it from above cover with a beautiful paper, a tinsel or, at the worst, not so new, but a white bed-sheet, simulating a snowdrift. Under it, by the way, it is very convenient to hide gifts - it is checked up in practice.

To establish a fur-tree it is possible in the different ways. An ideal variant of "a fur-tree pot" is the bucket with pure damp sand. On a sand bucket the water litre in which the glycerine or gelatin small amount is preliminary dissolved is added. One more variant - as for garden flowers - a tablet of aspirin plus 2 table spoons of sugar. Some advise together with water to add a small amount of suitable liquid fertilizer. To establish in sand a fur-tree it is better so that the bottom part of a trunk has been closed not less than on 20 centimetres., By the way, it is necessary to water sand in 1-2 days.
The second variant - to establish a fur-tree in a bucket or a tank with water. Water at the moment of installation should be hot and contain acid - acetic or lemon. Replacement - a couple of tablets of sparkling aspirin. One more recipe: to throw in water half of teaspoon of lemon acid, a spoon of gelatin and a little a pounded chalk.

Well and, at last, the most simple variant - but it is far not the ideal: to wrap up a trunk in a place of a cut a damp rag with which it is necessary to moisten periodically. Then to strengthen a tree in крестовине, on a support or any different way. On the average with sand the fur-tree can live in capacity without problems couple of weeks, in water with fertilizers her life term is extended about one month. Fur-tree branches can be sprayed from time to time from a spray - thereby you will help it to keep freshness longer.

If you make all correctly holidays with a fresh fluffy fur-tree will be stretched at you for a long time - you can note with it and Old New year, and even the Christening.
