 | 4.Take your time and find your special Christmas tree. | 5.Use the saw to cut down your tree. Always cut away from you. Be sure to cut the trunk as low to the ground as possible. It is important to allow enough trunk for the tree stand to hold the tree. Do not cut the bottom limbs off of your tree because this can ruin the entire shape of the tree. | 6.Attach your tree claim tag tightly to theĀ BOTTOM of your tree at this time. |
| 7.Pull your tree out to the end of the row where you can catch a ride back to the measuring, shaking and baling area. | 8.All trees will be measured , shaken and baled. After your tree has been measured you will be given a portion of the tree claim tag to take to the cashier. Please notify us at this time if you do not want your tree baled.
