Fresh Christmas Trees in Chatteris, Manea and Doddington
People in Chatteris tend to want straight answers, so here they are. These are the questions we hear most about freshness, answered plainly.
How Fresh Is Fresh?
Our trees are grown by trusted British farmers and cut late in the season. Throughout December our team collects fresh-cut trees every day, so a tree delivered in Chatteris, Manea or Doddington is usually as little as two days from being cut.
Why Does That Matter?
Once a tree is cut, it lives on the water in its trunk until it is stood in a stand. The shorter that gap, the better it holds its needles. A tree that reaches you quickly has used very little of that store.
How Can You Check It Yourself?
- Bend a needle. It should flex, not snap.
- Run a hand along a branch. Only a few needles should drop.
- Smell it. A fresh tree has a clean resin scent.
Which Tree Should You Get?
For indoors, a Premium Nordmann Fir. If you are not fussed about a perfectly even shape, Standard Nordmann Fir has the same needles for less. For outdoors, a Norway Spruce Tree, which is supplied for outdoor use only.
What Do You Need to Do When It Arrives?
Get it into a water-holding stand straight away, fill the reservoir and check it every day. A sturdy Traditional Green Metal Stand (up to 6ft) does the job for smaller trees. That is most of the secret. The rest is in our Tree Care Tips.
Will It Survive the Fen Wind on the Way?
Yes. Every tree is netted for the journey and travels in our own vehicle, not on a car roof.
Can You Put It Up for Me?
Yes. Ask for our tree preparation service when you order. We will place the tree, take the netting off and make sure it is standing securely, so all you need to do is decorate.
Is a Potted Tree Fresher?
A potted tree is a different thing altogether, because it still has its roots. The Potted / Rooted Christmas Tree Nordmann 3ft+ keeps growing in its pot and can be planted out after Christmas if it is looked after. A cut tree gives you more height for your money.
What Do You Do With It After Christmas?
Book our Recycle & Removal Service. Leave the tree outside on the agreed day and we will take it away for recycling. No sawing, no trailer, no needles in the car.
Where Are the Chatteris Delivery Details?
