CHRISTMAS TREE FAQ
Your top 10 questions
answered by our woodland elves!
Do you deliver?
At the moment we don't - all our sales are made from our retail site in Berkhamsted. All Christmas trees are different and depend on your individual taste. It is therefore better to choose your tree yourself AND A LOT MORE FUN! We believe that direct deliveries of Christmas trees is extremely difficult to get right because of the quality of delivery services, especially at Christmas time. Once you have chosen your tree, we will wrap it tightly and even help put it into your car, or if you prefer you can tie it to your car roof for a more traditional journey home.
How can I help my tree keep its needles?
We'll help you by cutting the bottom inch of the trunk off for you. This will re-open pores in the bark and if you then place the tree in a water holding stand within an hour or two the tree will drink a large amount of water during the season. This stops the tree from drying out and just like a cut rose in water, will stay fresh considerably longer - but you must remember to keep watering it! Read our full guide to tree care here

A Christmas tree is measured from the bottom of the trunk to the very top of the leader (this is the long branch where the fairy or star goes) All of our trees are grouped by height and priced accordingly
