A certain Christmas tree in the US is given a mixture of what to help keep it's freshness? For extra credit what is the amount of each item in the mix?

My mother used to put an aspirin in the water of the Christmas tree. She said it helped keep the needles from falling off too soon.

Could be????

But that information was not presented to me. Looking for # of aspirin/amount of water. My guess is you are close.

Part 2 was 200 aspirin/300 gallons of water. I think John and Don both deserve a golden uni this week. Good job guys.

Enjoy the weekend
