help my Christmas tree is shedding needles!

[ConstantlyChristmaslyCooking]

Just that really. We bought a lovely tree and have it in water in a stand but it is drying out. Are there any suggestions? We sawed off some of the trunk before putting it in the stand.
Anything we can add to the water or spray on the tree?

Mine is doing this too!

Watching

erm that's what trees do when they are dead - nothing you can do to stop it other than stay away from it.

Extra hold hairspray. Mine's hardly list any so far.

Did you saw a bit off the bottom of your tree when you got it home? You need to do that so it can soak up the water. The sap will have closed up the end.

Sorry, you did that.
It's not near a radiator?

Apparently it's more likely to happen this year as it's been so mild. The trees needed a frost which they didn't get.

Happend to us two years ago. We now stick to an artificial one!

Thank you for the advice. I will try hairspray. We have had real trees before and they have lasted much better. It seems as if the water is being absorbed as it has barely gone down.
I feel guilty because we have an artificial tree but I persuaded DH to get a real one this year because we are at home all through the festive season.

Our's is doing this slightly too, although not very much just more than usual. The water isn't going down either, whereas in past years it has needed topping up every day. I think Cider must be right and they've been affected by the weather.

Thanks waggles for making sense of my last post! I just realised I had left the tree not out in the sentence about the tree not absorbing water.
I am going to try spraying it with water to see if that helps.
