Your Guide to Choosing the Perfect Real Christmas Tree

Few things capture the magic of the season like a real Christmas tree. From the moment it’s set up, it transforms your home with fragrance, greenery, and a sense of tradition that artificial trees simply can’t match. When it comes to finding your perfect match, the first step is deciding between a pot-grown tree or a freshly cut classic.

Pot-Grown vs Fresh Cut

Pot-Grown: Can be replanted after Christmas, making them eco-friendly and ideal for creating a lasting tradition.
Fresh Cut: Loved for their classic aroma and fuller branches—perfect for indoor decorating.

Festive Timing Guide

Pot-Grown: Best introduced to your home from late November, as they cope better with a longer festive stay.
Fresh Cut: Ideally brought in from early December to keep them fresh right through Christmas Day and into the New Year.

Choosing between pot-grown and fresh cut trees depends on what you want from your festive centrepiece. Pot-grown trees offer lasting life in the garden, while fresh cut trees bring fullness and fragrance into your home. Whichever you choose, a real Christmas tree makes the season feel truly alive.

Tips for Decorating and Caring for Your Christmas Tree

With the right care and a few thoughtful touches, your Christmas tree can stay fresh, beautiful, and truly festive throughout the season. Follow these easy tips to help your Christmas tree shine all season long:

  • Use a sturdy stand with a deep water reservoir for fresh cut trees.
  • Keep away from radiators or fireplaces to avoid premature drying.
  • Water regularly—yes, real Christmas trees need water daily.
  • Go light on ornaments if you're using a real Christmas tree in a pot.
  • Use a tree skirt or basket to hide the base and catch fallen needles.

For an extra festive touch, pair your tree with potted plants, fresh moss, or seasonal foliage to create a nature-inspired display.
