What is the best mixture to put in the water to keep the tree fresh during the season?
The best thing to keep a tree fresh for the season is WATER. Don’t be fooled by something you heard through the grapevine. Water is what trees drink. Make sure once you have it in your stand you don’t let the waterline drop below the stump. If this happens the tree will produce sap and seal it, preventing water intake. You will need to make a fresh cut on the stump for the tree to take water again. Make sure you stand has a large water container.
