We have Norway Spruce growing in our field in Wilmslow and also have Nordman Fir, Fraser Fir and Lodgepole Pine growing on our other plantations. These are brought to our Christmas shop for you to choose from

Choosing And Buying Your Tree The type of tree you need depends on the colour you’d like and how long you want it to last for.  Measure the height of your room and work out how tall you need the tree to be – you don’t want a tiny tree that looks lost in a high-ceilinged room or to end up having to chop a bit off the top off it.

Once You’ve Got Your Tree Home Don’t take the tree inside till you actually need to. In the meantime, keep it standing in a bucket of water in a cool, dry place. Just before taking your tree inside, plant it in a pot with earth if it is rooted or, if it is a cut tree, saw 3com off the bottom of the trunk to get rid of any pores that are blocked with sap and make it easier for the tree to take up water. For cut trees, a tree stand will allow the trunk to sit directly in water (placing it in soil or sand blocks pores) and will mean you don’t have to spend hours trying to get it to stand up in an ordinary bucket. Position the tree away from heat sources such as radiators and make sure the trunk is always submerged in water, to stop sap sealing the pores and preventing water intake. Water it daily, as a tree can take up three pints per day. At night, turn off any lights on the tree to stop it drying out and to avoid the risk of fire.

When Christmas Is Over When it’s time to take your Christmas tree down, it’s easy to get it recycled. Bring your tree back to us and we will shred it into chippings.
