• Needle retention: Among the best of any real Christmas tree when kept watered and away from heat

• Reusable: Pot grown, so it can be replanted and brought back for future Christmases
• UK hardy: Popular Christmas tree in the UK as it copes well with a typical UK winter once planted outdoors

Information

Our best-selling Nordmann Fir Pot Grown Christmas Tree is a great sustainable choice this festive season. The Nordmann Fir keeps its needles longer than most trees, so it still looks full when the decorations come down. Botanically known as Abies nordmanniana, its soft, blunt needles are why it's the UK's favourite real Christmas tree.

Grown in a pot rather than cut, it can be decorated indoors, stood by your front door, or moved onto the patio. Once the festive season ends, move it back outdoors and repot it into a larger container to keep it growing, ready to come back next Christmas. Alternatively, it can be planted permanently in the garden.

Please note that the pot is for illustrative purposes only. You will receive your tree in a black growing pot. We recommend planting it in a larger pot than the one you will receive after Christmas so that the tree can grow.

Shape, Height & Colour

Nordmann Fir Christmas Trees range from 2ft, suited to a tabletop display, up to 7ft for a large room or foyer, with 3ft to 6ft covering most front doors, hallways and living rooms. Across the available sizes, Nordmann Firs typically have the characteristic dense, conical shape and dark green colour across every size.

As this is a natural product, each tree is individual and may show some variation in shape, height and fullness.

Expert Care Tips

Follow these simple steps to keep your Nordmann Fir healthy indoors, then to settle it comfortably into the garden after Christmas.

• Acclimatise first: Leave the tree in a cool porch, garage or shed for a day or two before bringing it into a warm room, so it isn't shocked by the sudden shift indoors.
• Water little and often: Keep the compost moist but never sitting in water, and check that the base of the pot is not flooded.
• Keep it away from heat: Position the tree away from radiators, fireplaces and direct sun through glass, since dry heat speeds up needle drop.
• Move it back outside gradually: Once the festive season ends, reverse the acclimatising process before planting it out for good.
• Plant before the ground freezes: Dig a hole roughly twice the width of the pot, loosen the roots, backfill with soil and a layer of mulch, then water well.
• Check growth in spring: Keep the tree watered during dry periods as it establishes. If it remains container-grown, check whether it needs moving into a larger pot as the roots develop.
