Product description
The quintessential original Christmas tree, the Norway Spruce has been grown on UK shores since Victorian times and is the variety people mostly associate with Christmas. It's classic shape, look and fresh scent all contribute to that traditional and nostalgic Christmas feeling. Sporting dark green foliage all year round and featuring a good symmetrical conical shape, with thin prickly needles that sit sharply rigid, perfect for hanging up those decorations. Needle retention on this particular variety can be poor if it is not properly looked after, but given plenty of water and care then needle loss should be minimal.
Caring for this tree doesn't require much effort, it really only needs water to keep it going, although this will be required often. Make sure when watering that the soil is not waterlogged, and do not allow the container to dry out. Once the Christmas period is over, you can transfer the tree into your garden, you can leave it in the container it is supplied in but we recommend you re-pot the tree into a larger pot to accommodate it's growth. The root system that develops within the pot will allow this tree to live for years provided it is given the right level of care. Keep it outside as close to Christmas as possible, and when it is time to bring the tree inside, keep it away from sources of heat such as radiators or fireplaces, these will dry the tree out and quickly cause it to drop its needles.
As we ship these staple Trees directly to you from our premises this guarantees the life and quality of the tree you will receive as you know it won't be bashed around in travel. It's going from us to you!
FAQ
Can I reuse this Tree after the seasonal period?
Absolutely! These pot grown Trees are intended to stay with you for years to come. Just make sure you don't cut the tree and keep it in an appropriate pot size right after Christmas.
Why buy a real tree?
Being a well-established Gardening supplier you will expect we care about the environment, real trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air during their growing period and of course help the environment around you. Coming into your room with a live Christmas tree in the morning also gets you into the Christmas spirit every day with its beautiful scent and appearance that cannot be matched by artificial.
How wide will my tree be?
Real Christmas trees can vary as of course they are real live trees! We tend to go with a rule that the width is around 1/2 of the height of the tree. Sometimes 1/3 for the ones who enjoyed a good growth period. The taller the trees are usually nearer 1/3.
Please Note: Our pot grown trees are measured from the base of the pot to the tip of the tree.
