Measure the space you want your tree
to fit in before you leave the house: it
can be very hard to estimate a tree's
size by eye. Don’t forget, the tree
stand could add 15cm to the height. Wear gloves, so you can transport the
tree to your car or home without
pricking your hands: some trees'
needles are very sharp. There is a wide range of Christmas trees,
all different in appearance, and some
more likely to drop needles than other.
Some of the most popular are as follows: Norway Spruce – pyramid in shape, with
a tendency to drop needles. Nordmann Fir - dark green foliage and
soft leaves, suited to fewer decorations.
A popular choice with the ability to hold
its needles well. Blue Spruce - elegant with natural blue
foliage. Fraser Fir - leaner in shape with much
denser foliage, ideal in a smaller room. Christmas tree positioning and
decorating Choose a well-lit spot where the tree will
stand out and be noticed. Don't put it somewhere where excited
children or pets are likely to crash into
your masterpiece. Avoid standing the tree next to radiators
and fireplaces - they can dry out the
tree, and are also fire hazards Display larger decorations evenly on
branches around the tree from bottom
to top, then repeat with smaller ones, to
create an even spread Caring for your tree Ensure your tree is getting enough
water - they need a lot, and thrive best
on approximately 1-2 litres daily. Christmas tree afterlife Call your local council and ask if they will
collect and recycle If it has roots, plant and care for the tree
in early January to enjoy it again next
year
