Have you read about the advantages to our atmosphere due to these forests? Please Google "Christmas tree Recycling". I think the farmers who grow Christmas trees as a crop, which is harvested, would disagree with you about your definition of what they grow.


We tried the seven up, and karo syrup, and some other sweet things but did not notice any additional longevity to our trees so we just use water along with with the bleach on the first watering.

Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS. We will since all of our kids and all five grand kids will be here
