• How can I look after my tree? How long will it last?

  • It's very difficult to judge how long a tree will survive after we deliver it to you. Our real Christmas trees and very much like flowers and need care, attention and lots of water to stay fresh as long as possible.
  • We continuously replenish our stock through the season to ensure we always have the freshest trees available, so to maximise their life span.
  • Common factors that may reduce the life span of your tree include:
    • Lack of water
    • Central heating (radiators)
    • Fire places
    • Air-conditioned environments
  • To maximise the life-span of your tree, you should:
    • keep it away from heat-sources
    • do not put in in air-conditioned environments
    • water your tree daily (this is very important). If the water level drops below the tree's trunk, sap will re-seal the bark within hours. This will prevent the tree from drinking again - even if you refill the stand.
  • For more information, please visit our Christmas Tree Care page.
