I unfortunately had to lop off a few lower ponderosa branches and am looking at the long sweepy needles with an artistic eye towards holiday swags for the door. I am afraid that they will go all brown though and was wondering if any of you have any tips on keeping evergreen greenery green?  I was thinking of spray on clear acrylic but that would make them stiff and nasty looking. Paint on melted paraffin? It's a beautiful day for swag making here on the lovely Palouse

I wonder if you could mix glycerin with the water and if that would help? I would love to know too!

I can keep a real wreath on the front porch all winter, I spray it now and then, but the cold weather seems to do the trick. This is outside of course. Inside I don't think it would last to long.

I always spritz our greenery with fresh water from a spray bottle, Annika. I don't know what might keep them green and fresh-looking longer, but I'm so looking forward to finding out! So glad you've asked! Hugs - Nini
