The Nordmann Fir (Abies Nordmanniana) has become one of the most popular trees. Most importantly it is beautiful. Pyramidally shaped with slightly upturned branches, the deep green, glossy foliage is tinged with a subtle chalky colouration that is particularly effective in artificial light and a wonderful foil to shiny baubles. It is also a benign tree if there are young children around, because the plentiful needles are less prickly, being slightly flattened and blunt ended.

• These pot grown trees are an ecologically friendly option and will continue to grow if looked after. (For care instructions please see details.)
• To fulfil customer expectations we carefully select our Christmas trees from a high quality, sustainable crop from the British Isles. In common with all grown purchases, there will be minor variations from tree to tree. Your tree may look slightly different from the image, but its quality should not be in question. Equally, the measurement cannot be precise. Trees in pots are measured from the base of the pot to the top of the tree.

Please leave the tree outside for a long as possible, anything above two weeks indoors will ‘break its dormancy’ (if you then put it outside it will think it is spring). When inside, your tree will thrive better in a room below 18ºC; avoid positioning near a radiator or other source of heat. Stand it in a tray of water, top up regularly. On Twelfth Night (or when you want to put it outside), repot into John Innes No. 3 with some bark chippings, and water thoroughly. Ideally stand on a sunny, airy terrace.
