A sugar boost helps, or spray with moisture retaining plastic, though full coverage is needed. Fire retardants like borax boric acid and soap can be used but moist storage is more effective. Rhode Island and Massachusetts tests show moist trees won’t combust unless flames contact them. Ammoniated phosphate also works as a retardant when mixed with water and sprayed or used for dipping.
