Christmas tree mind 

Make sure to ask your provider where the trees originate from, and to pick a privately sourced and developed tree, or one that has at any rate been developed in the UK as opposed to abroad. 

While showing trees inside, abstain from putting them excessively near a fire or radiator, as this will cause inordinate dampness misfortune and needle drop. 

Cut trees 

When you get the tree home, saw 2.5cm (1in) off the base with a pruning saw 

Place in a remain with a well of water in the base 

Check every day and best up the water when the level drops 

With mind, cut trees should last around a month 

Trees in pots 

To diminish stress and harm to living trees, show them in a cool room 

Bring trees inside as late as conceivable – the end of the prior week Christmas is perfect 

Try not to continue living trees in the house any more extended than 12 days, yet be guided by the tree. In the event that it looks miserable, set it back outside 

Either plant the tree out in the garden after Christmas, or (in the event that you need to bring it inside again one year from now) develop it on in a holder, moving it into a greater pot every year until the point that you achieve the most extreme size that can be moved easily (around 45cm (18in) width and profundity). Soil-based John Innes No 2 preparing media is perfect. 

Pruning and preparing 

Christmas trees require almost no preparation when developed outside. Expect to keep up an appealing shape, evacuating any shoots that ruin the outline or any solid upright branches that rival the main stem. Prune away any dead, infected or biting the dust branches. 

Christmas trees planted in pots will be restricted in their size by the imperatives of the pot. In any case, if planted out in the garden, 5 Foot Christmas Tree can get expansive, achieving a tallness of around 15-20m (50-65ft) in twenty years, and conceivable possible statures of around 40m (130ft). The littlest developing Christmas trees are likely Fraser firs, which reach around 7m (23ft) following twenty years, achieving a possible tallness of around 20m (65ft), and Korean firs, which reach 4m (13ft) in twenty years and an inevitable stature of 10m (33ft). 

Engendering 

Christmas trees can be developed from seed or cuttings - both semi-ready and hardwood, yet are normally purchased as full size trees for showing inside. 

Cultivar Selection

Abies nordmanniana (Nordmann fir): Dark green needles that are ease back to drop, yet more costly than Norway spruce. 

Picea pungens Glauca gathering (Blue spruce): Blue needles, more thorny than different trees, holds its needles superior to anything the Norway spruce. 

Abies koreana (Korean fir): Dark green, marginally twisting needles. Superb needle-holding quality. 

Abies fraseri (Fraser fir): Good needle-holding properties, a flawless pine aroma and the normal state of a Norway spruce.
