Bricky,
I bet if you advertised the fact that you don't paint or treat your trees
you'd sell a heck of alot more. Especially if folks know they can make
theraputic teas from the needles and bark.

Subject: Re: CS>Baking Soda & fungus--Fungus on pine trees
I live in the Pacific Northwest with lots of rain. I raise Christmas trees
and have to pay attention to how the tree looks. I had customers buy pine trees
for Christmas who said that after Christmas they made tea out of the needles
and even the bark (Pycnoganol). I used to paint the pines to cover their
yellow needles caused by a fungus. I stopped painting the trees after they told
me what they did. Guess what? Sales of pine trees dropped off as they were more
interested in looks.
