Christmas Trees

[Colour Republic]

Just went and got ours and it has to be the sharpest tree I’ve ever bought just trying to put the lights on has nearly hospitalized me. With hand on heart I would have preferred to stick my hands in a box of hypodermic needles, used or not:yikes:. I also seem to be having a reaction to it as well and I never have reactions to anything considering the amount of chemicals I have stuck my hands in when doing my job

This year I decided to buy a home grown British tree and I’m wondering if this is the difference. Supporting the economy or not, I’m going back to Norwegian next year:ninja:

If you add a little bleach (a few drops)to the water CR the tree will last a very long time, it kills any bacteria that settles in the water, a lot less needle loss as well.

I know it works for cut flowers but trees too?

I listened to Gardeners question time on radio 4 last Wednesday, the panel all said it works. They did say just a few drops though.

That's me stuffed then, I'm a bloke I don't follow instructions I make them!

I'm afraid you'll have to tell me to put a cupful in, that way my pride can disagree with you and put just a few drops in:smilewinkgrin:

No water, just bleach.

See you've got that all wrong Diamond, what you want to do is put a few drops (only a few mind) of bleach mixed in with your water, it perks the tree up, it will last a lot longer and you'll have much less needle drop

Hope it helps, don't mention it
