Troy, unfortunately you would just end up with a drunk tree. It will not help keep the tree fresh. It will keep it in the holiday spirit!

I once heard of adding vodka to help preserve the tree longer. What do you think

That was a great show. I might even try one of those this Christmas. Normally, my family just mix some sugar in with the water and put that in the tree stand.

I am a agriculture science teacher and I love this idea of how to keep a Christmas tree. I willl turn this into a basic experiement with my middle school students. We will test different additives to keep the Christmas tree (a big ag commodity) alive. Thanks for the idea!

What was the official name of that “machine” that they made? I think it started with a “g”.

Mythbusters has to be the greatest job on earth! I cut about 3/8″ from the base of my tree. This removes the fresh sap. Sap protects the fresh cut and doesn’t allow good absorption. I get several of the flower additive packs form the florist and pour one per quart of water. Our tree is currently drinking 3-4 cups a day with additive and it looks greener now than it did when we picked it out 10 days ago. It has very little needle loss too. I love your show! Where can one submit an application for employment?

As Spelling Gestapo stated, I think you either wanted “You can keep needles from falling OFF of the Christmas tree by…” or “You can keep needles from falling ofF the Christmas tree by…” but it is currently a bit confusing for non-native speakers.
