This is what the tree looked like when i bought it. Its been dipping into the mid to low 30s at night and we had a windstorm a few days ago with 70mph to 100mph gusts. Would Hydrogen Peroxide Work? http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n6/MARIO509/DC4D7325-6CD7-4769-822A-B2DA75B11B48-218-00000016F55AFC...
