We never had ours in the house for more than a week or so. The one’s we have bought already come balled and burlaped and in a container, so dealing with watering wasn’t a big deal.
The nursery delivered about 2 weeks before xmas and placed it in our unheated garage. According to the nursery, one of the worst things that can happen to a xmas tree is drying out, not by lack of water, but by wind. So a sheltered area to store it is a must. Even if it’s on the lee side of your house.
And yes, they are heavy. Recruit some friends to help move it. A dolly comes in helpful as well. I always choose trees in the 5-6ft range just because of the weight.
