'Tis the season to be in the market for a Christmas tree.

At Motley's Tree Farm in Southwest Little Rock, they've sold 383 trees between the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving.

They say in spite of this year's drought, they were able to irrigate and have a healthy crop.

And for those buying live Christmas trees, here are a couple of tips to keep it fresh.

As soon as you get home, place the freshly cut base in water. Also make sure the base stays completely under water at all times.

Doing these things can help your tree last for up to five weeks.
