Christmas tree care If you’re opting for a real Christmas tree this year, Byron Lewis, from Lichfield Garden Centre, has some top tips for choosing a festive centrepiece to suit your needs. Christmas trees form the focal point of most living rooms during the festive season, so here are a few tips if you are thinking of having a real Christmas tree this year. Choose your variety carefully; traditional Norway Spruce have a good shape and smell great, but they are really best suited to unheated rooms or outside porches, because central heating and warmth will cause their needles to drop. Nordmann Firs are by far the most popular tree today. These are soft to touch, easy to decorate and, best of all, have superb needle retention. They will still look good into the new year if looked after correctly. You may also see Fraser Firs offered at the garden centre. These also have good needle retention but are generally more compact, making them great for smaller rooms. Your tree will need a stand of some description. Attractive coloured metal stands with a reservoir are popular – the trunk of your tree will drop into the stand and can be bolted in position. Plastic buckets will do the same job, but you’ll need to add some weight either with stones or gravel and sand. Your tree will need water – larger trees can take up to three pints a day, so remember to check your stand regularly and keep it topped up. If you buy a potted or pot-grown tree, these can be used year after year. Just remember if they are taken into a warm room for Christmas, they will need to get used to the outside temperatures again after Christmas. Put them in a garage or cold greenhouse for a few weeks to acclimatise your tree before moving it outside.
