John Lawless of BestHeating recommended choosing a Nordmann Fir tree in future as it is likely to live the longest in heated conditions and “needles won’t drop for a long time.”
Mike, a sports field groundskeeper, gardening expert, lawn-care enthusiast, and the founder of Nerd Lawn said dropping needles is a “common issue” with real Christmas trees which can be “unsightly and messy”.
To “prevent” needles dropping, he ensured keeping the tree well-watered and away from any temperature extremes.
