For any of you like me, who still prefer a live tree fro Christmas here is a tip for keeping it watered. I attach a funnel to the trunk of the tree about waist high or so and then attach a piece of hose from the funnel to the container the tree is in. Now all I do is add water as needed by pouring it into the funnel. Limbs are not missing off the tree in this photo either, Just being held back to get a good shot of the funnel.
