Subject: Another Christmas-question!

This reminds me of something. I always wanted to know how you Americanīs manage to keep the (real) Christmas tree nice for many days. I have heard some put it up very early so that it is up for a month or so. I have tried that, but even with watering the thing gets dry and kinda shrinks, with hanging branches and such, after 2 weeks or even earlier.

Is there a trick?

Thanks!*g*

[> I have an artificial tree, Martina. There is a solution you can make that is supposed to keep the tree fresh longer. It has bleach in it and iron pyrite or something. I never made it because whenever we had a real tree, it fell over every year (despite valiant efforts by the DH to ensure it was stable) spilling water all over the carpet. I didn't want to add to the misery by having my carpet discoloured by bleach as well. -- Brenda, 23:45:19 12/03/03 Wed

[> [> hi! Don't know if anyone is reading down this far..I just popped by and..I always put sugar in the water for the tree..it's supposed to help keep the tree fresher longer. I have no idea if it helps or not, never wanted to experiment. The tree just sucks back that glucose water! ;) -- viive, 14:14:53 12/22/03 Mon
