Christmas trees are the most important Chritmas decorations. When I was a kid, one thing I wanted to do was to find a way to make a Christmas tree last longer.
Luckily, I learned a way at ten years old when my parents took me to visit a farm, which grew and sold Chritmas trees. We went there to cut down our Christmas tree.
A friendly farmer named Michael showed me how to keep a Chritmas tree fresh for a long time. He told me that, “When you get your Christmas tree home, first boil(煮) 4.5 L water. Then, put one cup of sugar when it is cool. Place the Christmas tree in a container, and pour the warm sugar water in the container. Trees need nutrients(营养). The sugar has the right nutients to feed your tree. Then in the following days, continue to add fresh, cool water without sugar to the container. Always top up the container with plenty of water.”
We decided to try the first one. So was this tip from the farmer useful? Yes, of course. My tree was still healthy and green in January: a full month after we cut it down!
