Y twelfth night the Christmas tree used to be a twiggy-looking skeleton overlook­ ing a carpet of


house until summer. These daysifyoubuy the


right type of tree your cen­ tral festive decoration will stay fighting fit well into January. Tree expert Marc


Charnley is an accepted


North West authority on . Christmas trees. He said: “To ensure the.


' quality and freshness, peo­ ple cutting trees should in­ sist on working closely with the Forestry Commission., They should personally tag every tree before having' them cut out. “You need to knowhow


long each batch of trees has been cut for. It keeps the freshness and quality there. Some large planta­ tions which cut millions of trees out have to start cut­ ting them in October to get through the workload. For the customers that means it’s pot luck how long your tree has been cut for.” Once the trees are


sourced, Marc has some further words of advice. He said: “It’s really im­


portant for us that people choose a tree that will suit their home.


“Firstly; measure the space where the tree will be


goingand rememberthat trees look smaller in the open. Make sure the foliage is dark green; that means the tree has been fertilized


and is strong and healthy.- “Lastly, think carefully


about which tree is right for you depending on its loca­


tion in your home. If you


suffer from allergies, for in­ stance, some of the strong­ er scented trees should be avoided.”


After buyingyourtree,


it should be kept outside in a cool place, preferably


standing in water until it is required indoors. Before the tree is brought


indoors, try to cut about two centimetres offthe trunk. This will help the


tree drink more water and stay fresher. For ultimate freshness, stand the tree in a water-holding Christ­ mas tree stand. They’re


lightweight and clean and keep the tree fresh. Keep the water topped up every day; you will be amazed


how much a Christmas tree drinks.


Lastly, stand the tree


away from directheatsuch. as radiators or, if that’s not possible, turn the nearest radiator offor at the very least down to low.

average priceforasix-foottree is £35.


NORDMAN FIR: These are some of the most popular trees with a traditional shape, deep green foliage and beautiful pine fragrance. Their needle retention is excellent, which makes them among the most


wm y/


popular in Europe. The average price for a six-foot tree is £40/£45.


FRAZER FIRS:These dense luxurious trees are heavily


scented but not that popular. They are slow-growing and so a little more expensive to buy. The average price for a six-foot tree is £50.
