Paul,

At LEAST one pint a day should keep it going, preferably 2 pints. Make
sure you have it in a "saucer" to catch any overflow, and to help it soak
up from the bottom. The more drink an Xmas tree has (without being
waterlogged), the more it will keep its needles, and the better it will
look.

NB - water straight out of the tap is fine for your Xmas tree.
