Choosing a Real Christmas Tree

We supply several types and sizes of real Christmas tree, so it is worth considering the intended position before selecting one.

What types of real Christmas tree do you sell?

Our range includes Premium Nordmann Fir, Standard Nordmann Fir, Norway Spruce Tree and selected potted or rooted Christmas trees. Each has different characteristics and is suited to different types of display.

What is the best real Christmas tree for indoors?

Premium Nordmann Fir and Standard Nordmann Fir are our main indoor choices. Nordmann Fir has softer foliage and good needle retention when properly watered and kept away from strong heat sources.

What is the difference between Premium and Standard Nordmann Fir?

Both are Nordmann Fir. Premium trees are selected for their overall appearance, while Standard Nordmann Fir allows greater natural variation in shape, width and branch spacing.

Can I use Norway Spruce indoors?

No. Our Norway Spruce range is supplied for outdoor use only. It has pointed needles, a traditional outline and a stronger Christmas-tree fragrance than Nordmann Fir.

Do you sell potted or rooted Christmas trees?

Yes. Selected Rooted 4ft-5ft and other potted or rooted Christmas trees are available. Check the individual product information for current sizes, availability and care requirements.

Can I replant a rooted Christmas tree after Christmas?

A rooted tree may be suitable for planting afterwards, but successful establishment cannot be guaranteed. How the tree is kept indoors, watering, temperature changes and the eventual planting conditions can all affect the outcome.

Do all real Christmas trees look exactly like the product photograph?

No. Real trees naturally vary in width, branch density, shape and trunk thickness. Trees within the same size range can therefore look slightly different while still meeting the relevant product description.

Christmas Tree Size FAQs

What sizes of Christmas tree do you supply?

Our range starts with compact trees such as Premium Nordmann Fir 3ft-4ft and includes popular household sizes such as Premium Nordmann Fir 6ft-7ft. For much larger projects, Custom Size Tree 15ft-30ft is available by enquiry for suitable sites.

How are Christmas tree sizes measured?

Christmas tree sizes are measured from the base of the trunk to the natural tip. The stand and any topper add additional height, so allow extra clearance when measuring your room.

How do I know what size tree will fit my room?

Measure the floor-to-ceiling height and the usable width of the intended position. Allow extra room for the stand and topper, and remember that the branches will spread once the tree is removed from its netting.

Why does tree width matter?

A tree may fit comfortably beneath the ceiling but still be too broad for the available floor space. Real trees vary naturally in branch spread, so leave enough room around the tree for the branches to open.

Can you help me choose the right size?

Yes. If you are unsure, contact us with the approximate ceiling height, available width and any access restrictions. Photographs of the intended position can also be useful for unusual spaces or larger trees.

Christmas Tree Stands and Setup

Do you sell Christmas tree stands?

Yes. Our Christmas Tree Stands range includes different stand sizes for different tree heights and trunk diameters.

Which Cinco Christmas tree stand do I need?

The correct stand depends on your tree. Options include Traditional Green Metal Stand (up to 6ft), Cinco 8 Tree Stand, Cinco 10 Tree Stand and Cinco 12 Tree Stand. Always check the stated height and trunk capacity before ordering.

Why should I use a water-holding stand?

A water-holding stand gives a fresh-cut indoor tree access to water while also supporting it. Keeping the reservoir topped up is an important part of caring for a Nordmann Fir through December.

Can you prepare my Christmas tree before I decorate it?

Tree Prep Service is available for selected orders where additional preparation is required. Check the product details and current availability when ordering.

Can the delivery team install very large Christmas trees?

Large-tree delivery and installation can be discussed for suitable projects. Trees over normal domestic sizes require advance planning around vehicle access, unloading, support and installation.

Do you offer Christmas door bows?

What is a Willow Tree Ring?

Willow Tree Ring is designed to provide a decorative finish around the base of a compatible Christmas tree, helping conceal the stand and lower trunk area.

What is Elf in Your Tree?

Elf in Your Tree is a festive extra that can add a surprise for children to an eligible Christmas tree delivery. You can also browse Elf Ideas for ideas to use throughout December.

Large and Commercial Christmas Tree FAQs

Do you supply Christmas trees for businesses?

Yes. We can supply real Christmas trees for suitable offices, hotels, shops, workplaces and other commercial premises. Contact us if you need multiple trees or something larger than a normal household size.

Do you supply Christmas trees for schools and churches?

Yes. Schools, churches, community organisations and other suitable venues can contact us about standard or larger real Christmas tree requirements.

How large can your real Christmas trees be?

Our specialist large-tree service includes custom real Christmas trees from 15ft to 30ft for suitable projects. The largest trees require advance discussion about transport, access, support and installation.

Where do you provide large Christmas tree delivery?

Our regional large-tree services include Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Lincolnshire. See Large Real Christmas Tree Delivery for the wider service.

What information do you need for a large-tree quote?

Useful starting information includes the postcode, approximate tree height, indoor or outdoor position, venue type, available height and width, access restrictions and photographs of the site where possible.

Can you deliver several trees to different business locations?

Multi-tree and multi-site requirements can be discussed. Send us the locations, approximate sizes and any installation requirements so the logistics can be considered together.

Christmas Tree Care and After Christmas

How do I keep a real Christmas tree fresh?

Keep a fresh-cut indoor Nordmann Fir supplied with water through a suitable stand and avoid placing it immediately beside radiators, fires or other strong heat sources. See Tree Care Tips for more guidance.

Should I water my Christmas tree every day?

Check the water reservoir regularly and top it up whenever necessary. A fresh-cut tree should not be left without water in its stand.

Why is my real Christmas tree dropping needles?

Some needle loss is natural, and different species behave differently. Heat, dehydration and the tree variety can all affect shedding. Nordmann Fir generally has better needle retention than Norway Spruce when properly cared for.

Do you collect Christmas trees after Christmas?

Our Recycle & Removal Service is available to eligible addresses. Check the current collection arrangements for your postcode when booking.

What happens to trees collected for recycling?

Trees booked through the recycling and removal service are taken away for appropriate recycling rather than leaving customers to transport and dispose of them themselves.
