Today is falling pine needles day…many people that have those real trees are probably seeing many of the needles falling off of the trees right about now. i have the artificial tree so I notice it the most when I atually take it out of the box an dput it back in the box which is actually what I just did the other day. I have the tree up for a good 1 1/2 months but it usually comes down the day after Christmas. My mother in law has a real tree and she can not stand it when the needles start to fall off the tree and the tree starts to really dry up. Some people can have their real tree up there for weeks and it looks great but if you do not put it in water then you will find that the tree will not last all that long for obvious reasons of course. So if your tree is loosing it’s needles it may be time to just take it down and put the decorations away for next year now!
