Press Release Summary = Immediately after making your cut at the bottom of the tree
trunk, mix your homemade preservative. Your tree will be SOAKING WET with water, in
fact, at least 800 per cent more water than when the tree was growing in the forest.
No needles will drop, no matter what variety you choose for your home.
The tree will give off a fragrance like that which you\'ve sensed when walking
through a forest of evergreens.


Press Release Body = Into the two-gallon bucket, add HOT WATER from the kitchen
faucet. Fill the bucket with hot water to within an inch or so of the top of the
bucket. Then, into the hot water, add the following ingredients:

two cups of Karo syrup
two ounces of liquid chlorine bleach
two pinches of epsom salt
one-half teaspoon of Boraxo
one teaspoon of chelated iron
Stir these ingredients thoroughly in the bucket, then IMMEDIATELY stand the trunk of
the tree in this solution. Leave the tree in the bucket until the day comes when you
want to take the tree indoors for decoration. THIS MIXTURE SHOULD NOT BE MIXED IN A
FOOD PREPARATION AREA. ALSO THE MIXTURE SHOOULD BE LABELED AS POISONOUS AND KEPT OUT
OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
A hint: in the morning when you get up, FlLL THE WELL OF THE TREE STAND WITH FLUID

STAND. The well must be kept filled so the solution is always readily available to
your Christmas tree, and then IT IS FlREPROOFED.
