ll Christmas trees are perfect. But there’s no getting away from the fact at some point they many will drop there needles and clog up the vacuum cleaner but some more than others. With our help we will try to guide you through the various types of Christmas tree available, with some advice on the benefits of each, from scent to needle retention. We also help you how to get the best from your tree over the festive season – and beyond.
Lift up your tree and check the weight; the heavier the tree, the more water it has and the fresher it will be. Also give it a gentle bump against the ground to make sure it holds onto its needles. Next check it’s Fullness Take a Stand back and check the tree from all angles to make sure there aren’t any gaps and try to avoid buy a tree that has already been netted. You can see how full it is....
CHOOSING YOUR TREE
Next check the Foot
Choosing a Christmas tree can be a great activity to do with all the family especially on a cold winter’s day.
There should be adequate room at the bottom of the tree so that you won’t have to remove any branches to get it into the stand .If you need to remove the lower branches try to imagine how it will look with these branches removed
CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY It’s important to check Freshness
Try to use a stand with a built in water reserve
