Sorry , but i won't be bying my christmas tree at somerfeilds this year , the one i got there last year was put up fortnight before christmas and was dead before christmas day..it looked so bad it came down on boxing day ...has put me off real trees but hubby insists we are still getting a real one so will be trying to find one that will last better this year
So much for if its cut after the first frost it will last better !!!
In order to keep the needles on a tree, you should not buy ones on a wooden stand. You can buy a metal stand for them that has a container for the base of tree and can be filled with water. This keeps the tree moist and stops the needles falling. Sorry, can't remember where I bought my base from but it was about £10-13. Looks lovely too.
I know the Castletown garden centre had the stands you are talking about last year cos that's where I got mine from
Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
while a real xmas tree is lovely i just use the artificial one. dont really have the room in the living room for a real one but my fake one looks fine when its decorated.
no amount of darkness can drive out darkness
only light can do that.
I have one of those stands never made much difference to my tree's, for 3 years i kept trying the real tree's but they were all brown and needleless before christmas day. I think if your room is too warm this doesn't help them either, but no way was i going to be cold for the sake of a tree.
If you want my stand mums angels you are more than welcome to it.
I still can't get in the christmas mood yet

I havent had a real tree for about 5 years, what is this base you are talking about? I thought these were about £25. Would a bucket of compost and water not do??
I really want a real tree this year but unsure of best place to get one.
It will be going into the conservatory which doesnt exactly store the heat so is a wee bit chilly in there anyway, does this help the tree to survive better?
Any info back would be grateful so I can get my real tree!!
Thanks!
Never frown, cos you never know who will fall in love with your smile!
Before buying a real christmas tree, ask if they are treated. They needles don't fall off if they have and will last longer. Well thats the plan anyway!
