The price made me hesitant, but I decided to give Miracle-Gro for Christmas Trees a try after reading mixed reviews. I wasn't convinced that a simple plant food could significantly prolong my tree's life. However, after using it for nearly a month, I'm pleasantly surprised. My Douglas fir is still looking green and lush, with minimal needle drop compared to previous years when I only used water.
What I liked most was how easy it was to use – just one capful per quart of water added to the stand. No measuring or complicated instructions. But, I did find that I needed to check the water level more frequently than usual in the first week or so, as freshly cut trees do absorb water faster initially.
I don't know if it was just that my Balsam was exceptionally healthy, or that there was some Christmas magic involved, or God decided to cast down a wintry miracle, or if this product with regular watering did the trick. But it is now a year later and my tree has not fully died. We still have it up.I purchased my tree in mid-December of 2023. It was not to be the main tree for Christmas, but rather a tree to celebrate the solstice (I celebrate Christmas too, but use an artificial tree for that).
AMAZING! AMAZING!I purchased a live tree on December 8 with some trepidation. Here in So Cal we were in the midst of a record-breaking heat wave and single-digit humidity. Several out-of-control wildfires raged north of where I live. I bought my tree off the lot at Home Depot where it had received no special treatment, i.e. not under cover, not in water. I had never purchased a Christmas tree that early in the month, but since I would be hosting guests the following week, I really wanted to h
2021: For the first time EVER my tree outlived the holidays. We bought a fresh tree just after Thanksgiving and used this product as instructed from the start. The tree LIVED clear through mid January. It was sad throw away because the branches and leaves were supple, fresh, and fragrant.Also, there was next to no leaf drop. In the month and a half the tree was up, there was one morning I found leaves on the floor enough to make a note of. I went to the tree and felt it, and it felt as fresh as
We went away for a week right before Christmas. I follow the instructions and added the correct amount to the water reservoir before we left. When we got back, not a single needle had fallen off of the tree! Even as we took it down I only had one dustpan with needles, very surprising!! Typically I'm vacuuming up needles for a year. This stuff is worth the money!
MIRACLE GRO for Christmas Tree successfully kept our church's 11 ft indoor tree, alive for 7 weeks!!, minimal shedding!! The tree trunk base curved outward and was larger than the stand. A 3" slice up the side of the trunk had to be cut for it to fit into the stand. We attempted to keep the water covering the 'wound' daily. The tree stand was filled almost the top of the rim, each mid morning, and again in late afternoon to early evening. I ordered Christmas Miracle Gro, within 2 days of sett
