Q: Can you water a new tree too much?

Q: Should I coat the cut branches on a topped tree?

• <div><p>You can find pruning paints and sealants for trees, but you shouldn&rsquo;t use them on a topped tree. Coatings like these often inhibit the tree&rsquo;s healing process. An important exception is if there are dangerous fungi nearby that the tree is particularly vulnerable to, like oaks and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-common-tree-diseases.htm">oak wilt</a>. Sealing cuts can help prevent fungi from taking root.</p></div>

Q: Can I rent a tree from the Christmas decorators?

However, individual interior decorators and others may not offer rented trees, so always check the specifics of their services before booking.
