We sell Nordman Fir cut Christmas trees, the Nordman Fir is known for there reduced needle drop and stunning appearance.
We also sell potted trees of a mix of varieties, its best to contact us to check which we have in stock.
Its best to store your tree either outside or in a garage until you are ready to put it up.
When you do put it up try and pick a place away from things like a fire or radiator as this will dry it out, cut an inch off the bottom to help with water uptake and place in a water-holding stand. Please check the water daily as they can drink quite a lot. If you have underfloor heating it is advisable to try and raise the tree off the floor by placing it on a small table or something similar to get it away from the heat.
Caring for Your Christmas Tree
To ensure your Christmas tree remains fresh throughout the Christmas period, follow these simple care instructions:
Storage:
Store the tree outdoors or in a garage until you're ready to display it. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from drying out prematurely.
Placement:
Choose a location away from heat sources, such as fireplaces or radiators. Excessive heat can cause the tree to dry out and lose its needles.
Watering:
Cut an inch off the bottom of the tree's trunk at a 45-degree angle. This will improve water uptake.
Place the tree in a sturdy, water-holding stand. Fill the stand with water and check the water level daily. Christmas trees can drink a surprisingly large amount of water, so ensure it remains hydrated.
Underfloor Heating:
If your home has underfloor heating, place the tree on a small table or similar surface to elevate it from the heat source. This will prevent the roots from drying out.
By following these simple guidelines, you can ensure your Christmas tree remains beautiful and fresh throughout the holiday season.
Yes, you can plant your potted Christmas tree outdoors. However, it's important to note that trees grown in pots may not reach the same size as those grown directly from seed in the ground. This is because pot-grown trees have limited root space, which can restrict their growth.
Despite this, potted Christmas trees can still thrive outdoors if given the proper care. Here are some tips for planting your potted Christmas tree:
Choose a planting site: Select a location that receives full sun or partial shade. The soil should be well-drained and slightly acidic.
Prepare the planting hole: Dig a hole that is slightly wider and deeper than the root ball of the tree.
Planting the tree: Carefully remove the tree from its pot and gently loosen the roots. Place the tree in the planting hole and backfill with soil, tamping it down gently around the base of the trunk.
Watering: Water the tree thoroughly after planting and continue to water regularly, especially during the first few months.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Monitoring growth: Monitor the tree's growth and adjust watering and mulching as needed.
Remember, potted Christmas trees may not reach the same size as their outdoor counterparts, but they can still add a touch of nature and festive cheer to your landscape.
