We’ve put together a few tips on caring for your real Christmas tree to keep them going through the festive period.

Cut Trees

We love real Christmas trees, and to ensure they last the whole festive season they need a bit of TLC. Water really is the key to maintaining a spectacular tree throughout the holidays. Never let your tree stand go dry!

We’ve put together a few tips to help you care for your tree:
• We advise that, before a tree is put into water, between 0.5-1inch is cut off the bottom of the trunk to open up the pores in the wood. This will help with water absorption. (we can do this for you before you take your tree away)
• When choosing a spot for your tree try and keep it away from heat sources such as fireplaces, radiators, heat vents and direct sunlight.
• If you’re not taking your tree into the house straight away we advise storing it in a cool place for up to several days. Place the freshly cut trunk in a bucket of water.
• Use a stand that fits your tree. Avoid whittling the sides to make it fit, the outer layers of wood are the most efficient in taking up water.
• Use lights that produce low heat. LED lights are great for real trees and they don’t use much electricity which is great for you and the environment.
• Trees naturally shed needles all year round so don’t worry about a few needles on the floor.
• If you feel your tree would benefit from a bit of a trim to even out some stray branches, go ahead.

Pot Grown Trees

We don’t think there’s anything better than having a real Christmas tree for the festive season, but what’s even better is that, if they’re cared for properly, pot grown trees can be planted for you to enjoy all year round.

We’ve put together a few tips to help you care for your tree:
• Make sure your tree has adequate water. The soil should be slightly damp but not flooded.
• If you’re not putting your tree in the house straight away it should be kept in an unheated, sheltered area such as a garage. Do not expose your tree to freezing temperatures.
• Pot grown trees can be decorated, but please take care,. They are still growing and some of the branches are a lot softer and may strain under the weight of some of the larger decorations.
• When the festive season is over and you’re ready to move your tree out, don’t remove the tree directly from the warmth of your home out into freezing temperatures. Move the tree into a sheltered area such as a garage for several days first.
• If you decide to plant your tree make sure the ground isn’t frozen first. Remove the pot but do not remove any soil from around the roots and place the tree in your desired location. Fill around the base of the tree with soil and don’t forget to water it.
• A garden stake can be used to prevent the tree growing at an angle and to support it during the first growing season.
• Don’t be afraid to prune your tree. (Between late Winter and Early Spring)
