Our Christmas tree is dying at an alarming rate with 4 days left to go. Any ideas to make it last?
Q. I'm not sure what kind it is; it has short needles. The ornaments are dropping to the floor with a shower of needles landing on top of them; the tree skirt is completely covered! If I move it, I'm certain it will resemble Charlie Brown's Christmas tree. Anyone know of anything I can add to the water, or is it just too late? Branches are beginning to droop as of this morning, in spite of it having had a fresh cut just prior to putting it in the stand and being watered daily. Help!
