Coloring Christmas Trees Before Harvest with Endurant Tree Colorants

Maintaining that rich, fresh green look before Christmas tree harvest is crucial for tree farms competing in a saturated market. Endurant Fraser Fir and Endurant Leyland Cypress tree colorants offer a professional, safe, and highly effective solution to enhance color, improve visual appeal, and increase market value before cutting.

Why Use a Christmas Tree Colorant?

As autumn sets in, even the healthiest trees can begin to yellow slightly, especially with cold nights and shorter days. A Christmas tree colorant helps:

• Restore vibrant natural green color

• Improve uniformity across your crop

• Cover imperfections caused by frost or weather

• Create more visually appealing, salable trees

Endurant’s colorants are formulated using non-toxic, environmentally safe, water-based pigments, making them suitable for even pick-and-cut operations where children and pets are present.

Tailored Color Solutions

• Endurant Fraser Fir: A deep, classic evergreen color ideal for traditional firs

• Endurant Leyland Cypress: A more vibrant green tone, perfect for Leylands and other lighter-toned conifers

Both products are designed to match the natural hues of their respective tree types, ensuring the most realistic enhancement possible.

When to Apply Christmas Tree Colorants

Timing is everything. Apply Endurant colorants 4–8 weeks before harvest, ideally:

• In early to mid-autumn

• On dry, windless days

• When temperatures are above 40°F

This allows for optimal adhesion and drying. The pigments dry quickly—usually within 15–30 minutes, forming a long-lasting, rainfast film.

Application Made Easy

Use a backpack sprayer, hand wand, or tractor-mounted boom, depending on your farm size. Endurant colorants mix easily with water at rates between 20:1 to 30:1, depending on desired coverage and intensity. A single 1-gallon jug can color many Christmas trees.

Pro Tip: Lock it in with Endurant Spray n Stay

Finish the job with Endurant Spray n Stay, a specialized sticking agent that:

• Increases color longevity

• Prevents wash-off from early rains

• Helps pigment bond more securely to the needles

Adding just 2 – 3 oz. of Spray n Stay per gallon of total Endurant Mix can drastically extend the vibrancy of your trees right through to Christmas Eve.

Cost and Coverage

Most farms find they can color many many trees for a minimal amount of money, including labor, when using Endurant’s concentrated blends. That’s a small investment for trees that stand out visually and command higher prices.
