Oregon Forestry Preserver

Trials began in March 1972 with results of = nothing better than water, more trials = nothing better than water.. We were diligent and this went on until October 1987. That was when we created a formula that worked better than water.. We produced our first Oregon Forestry Laboratory Christmas Tree Preserver in 1988 with excellent retail success. The following year we continued testing but nothing was working better than our regular formula.. In late 1989 The National Christmas Tree Association gave a grant to a major northwestern University to test Christmas Tree Preservers against water to see if they really worked. Eight brands were tested. Five Christmas trees were used for each product and the testing ran 28 days. At the end of 28 days, the university team checked all the trees. Oregon Forestry Laboratory "Christmas Tree Preserver" lost the least amount of needles of all brands tested plus the trees in water.. Our trees were also rated #1 for overall quality by the university team plus a consumers group.
