Plant of the Week: Christmas trees

Pop down to the garden centre this week and you’ll find a dazzling array of natural Christmas trees now in stock. The range of varieties is growing every year: a Norway Spruce is the traditional option, but you’ll also find non-drop Nordmann firs, silvery Blue Spruce and soft, bushy Douglas Fir.

Whatever you choose it’ll quickly become the hub of celebrations this Christmas, sheltering that towering pile of presents, twinkling with tinsel and spreading a delightfully natural pine scent throughout the house. Put up the Christmas tree and you know the holidays have truly begun – so come on over to the garden centre today and choose yours!
