    List of Ingredients













    Leave the tree outside or in the garage for a few days before bringing inside to decorate.

    Make a fresh cut across the bottom, about 1" above base, so your tree can drink easily.

    Make a preservative: mix a quart of water with 1/2-cup of corn syrup and a tsp. of bleach.

    After a few days in the preservative, bring the tree inside and place it in a location away from direct sunlight and other heat sources (such as heating ducts, wood stoves and fireplaces.)

    Remember to add water to the reservoir daily.

    For information about planting your Christmas tree after the Holidays and how to care for your tree before planting, see this very informative article: Planting A Live Christmas Tree written by Nancy Butler from Michigan State University Extension - Home Horticulture: http://www.msue.msu.edu/msue/imp/mod03/03900108.html
