A local tree can be cut & placed in water almost immediately. A tree grown in colder Washington state, will be cut, sprayed with green dye so it looks fresh, shipped dry by truck to Seattle, transferred into a container, loaded on a ship, until weeks later it finally arrives in Hawaii. Then the trunk is cut and placed in a tree holder filled with water, although the needles are already brown under the green dye and chemical pine scent.
Most trees I've purchased that were grown on the mainland lose needles with a good shake after a few days in the living room.
