How about using an artificial one? Bringing in a live tree can mean bringing in insects.

Hello List, I received an inquiry from another museum about the possibility of displaying a Christmas tree in their building. I don’t know where they want to display it or for how long. Are there any specific pests associated with trees that are potentially harmful to museum collections? Are there any trees that are better or worse than others in terms of pests? Thanks for your help! Amanda Amanda Streeter Trum Museum Collections Manager Montana Historical Society 225 N.
