How can I help my fresh cut tree last longer this holiday season?

If you cut a few inches off of the bottom of the tree trunk, this will expose the fresh wood and will allow for better water absorption. Also, heat from inside the home can dry out live trees very easily, so be sure that the tree’s stand is always filled with water.
