Christmas Tree Story

I was listening to Science Friday on NPR one day and found myself listening to this really cool interview called 'Chemistry Keeps Christmas Tree Alive, For Longer'. The subject of the interview was to explain how and why trees lose their needles. At the Nova Scotia's Christmas Tree Research Center, researchers are trying to find a way to extend the life of Christmas Trees.
