BucketPruning sawWatering canShredder, (optional)Retain the netting cover while you saw the trunk off level for it to stand upright. Keep the tree in a bucket of water outside for a day or two to absorb water before moving it indoors.
Secure the tree in a water-retaining stand in your chosen location, then release the branches from the netting. Fill the stand with water and keep the needles fresh by topping up the water every couple of days.
Place the tree away from direct heat, such as an open fire or a radiator for the longest possible display of fresh, scented needles. Give it plenty of space so that air can circulate around it, too.
Many councils will collect Christmas trees for recycling. Alternatively, make good use of the tree long after Christmas by shredding the branches and collecting the shreddings to spread under shrubs in the garden, where it will act as a weed-suppressing mulch.

- Buy A Tree In Good Condition. Check your tree is in good condition before you purchase. Ensure the needles are not dry or brittle. Gently tap the base of the tree trunk to the ground.
- Make Sure The Trunk Base Is Fresh. Trees naturally cover any exposed wood in sap which considerably reduces their ability to take on water. To ensure your tree can drink well, cut around an inch off the base of the tree before fixing it in its stand (just like you do with cut flowers before adding them to the vase).
- Keep The Water Topped Up. Hydration is the key to a long-lasting tree. A nicely submerged trunk is best for strong, supple needles. You’ll be amazed how much your tree can drink, sometimes as much as 2-3 pints a day!
- Keep Your Tree Cool. Trees are not fans of sudden temperature changes so try to keep the environment around your tree constant. And whilst we all love those idyllic pictures of the Christmas tree by the fireplace, unfortunately heat sources are only going to dry the tree out faster.
