Brennan recommends trees with full, symmetrical branches, a strong fragrance, and sturdy limbs for ornaments. Popular picks include Frasier Fir, White Pine, and Blue Spruce.
To keep greenery fresh, she suggests keeping tree stands full of water, untreated trees last 7-10 days, while anti-transpirant sprays extend freshness up to three weeks. She also offered advice on wreaths, poinsettias, outdoor containers, and holiday gift plants.
