Dear List -- This post indicates using one ounce of CS to one gallon of water for root rot. I am interested in preserving the needles of Xmas trees as mentioned in previous posts from 4 weeks to 4 months. I was told by one of the commercial people that all the water in the tree base should be 100% CS. Is this true? Or can you use maybe 25% CS? And must it be diluted in Distilled Water or can you use regular water in the Xmas tree base????? Gladys

Then I spray the needles of the tree or the root area and trunk if the tree has a root rot. Usually I mixed 4 ounces of Cs to the 4 gallon tank.
