How long does a fresh cut Christmas tree last outside in water?

A fresh cut Christmas tree can last for about 4 to 6 weeks outside in water, depending on the tree type and environmental conditions. It’s important to keep the tree submerged in water to prevent it from drying out. Ensure the water level is consistently maintained, as a tree can absorb a significant amount of water in the first few days after being cut. Additionally, placing the tree in a cool, shaded area can help extend its freshness.
