Donating to The Wounded Heroes Fund

This Christmas season Alpine Christmas Trees is collecting donations for The Wounded Heroes Fund. The Wounded Heroes Fund is a service organization for those veterans affected by the war on terror in an effort to provide them with support and appreciation they need in their return to civilian life.

We feel very passionate about this organization and the support they provide. We believe that with the help from our many loyal customers and a portion of our profits we can make a sizable donation to The Wounded Heroes Fund for our fellow veterans.

All Alpine Christmas Tree lots will be accepting donations. 


You can also make a donation on The Wounded Heroes Fund website here: http://thewoundedheroesfund.org/donations/
Donations are 100% tax deductible.

Caring for your Christmas Tree

More than half of Americans put their Yule Tide spirit in full throttle right after Thanksgiving Day and purchase their Christmas tree that weekend. Sounds good to us! The sooner the better!
But how can one be sure your tree will make it to Christmas Day? 
Here are some helpful tips and tricks to ensure your Christmas tree lasts through Christmas Day (and even New Year’s!)
**But remember! Alpine Christmas Trees are freshly cut and delivered daily to our tree lots all over Bakersfield. Can't get any fresher than us unless you cut them down yourselves! :)
Here are some tips and tricks for caring for your Christmas tree:
  • As soon as you get home put hot water in the water stand—as hot as you can get from the tap is the best.
  • A little known trick is to drop an aspirin and tablespoon of sugar in your tree's water stand.
  • Water your tree twice a day--making sure the water stand is 3/4 full
  • Putting Christmas lights on your tree will not make it a fire hazard but here are some things that will cause your tree to catch flames:
    • Open flames such as candles & fire from fireplace (keep your tree clear from both.)
    • Old electrical cords that are torn and frayed can be a fire hazard (if you have these be sure to dispose of them immediately.)
Once your tree is up and properly cared for you can decorate and enjoy through December!
