    Sometimes a straight cut can actually cause the tree trunck to sit to flat on the bottom of a tree stand. A slight angel can allow for more surface area and not 'seal' the tree trunk against the bottom of the stand.
    The link below has a few tips to help your tree.

    Trees typically will take up a lot of water the first week or two, then will slow down.
    Keeping the room cool will help extent the life of a tree.

    These trees can be a breeze to appease. Care for them would be similar to most palms. As long as you keep an eye out for fungal infections, and treat as soon as you find them, then you should have no problem with the palm. Here is an article that will explain the care of these trees:

    The new vegetation you are seeing is coming from buds that grew on the tree before it was cut. This article explains why it happens:

    Unfortunately, the tree won't be able to grow outdoors, because it will eventually exhaust its resources and won't be able to grow new roots.

    Here is an article on potted Christmas trees. Keeping the roots alive and not frozen solid will be difficult in colder regions. The longer it stays inside, the greater the chance it will break dormancy so move it outside ASAP. Water gently throughout winter to keep roots from drying out. Mulch the soil heavily and surround the container with bales of straw, bubble wrap or an insulation blanket. Keep the plant out of the wind if you can. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/christmas-trees/plant-your-christmas-tree.htm

    Unfortunately, cut Christmas trees cannot be replanted. They can last for a while in water but will eventually die. The following article describes a way to make cuttings from a Christmas tree to possibly regrow. It's difficult but worth a try:
