Update for Christmas 2026:<\/strong> Weston Sawmill is not selling Christmas trees or decorations this year, but we’re still delivering timber, fencing, decking and logs. Find out more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the festive season approaches, the annual trip to the Christmas tree farm or nursery is often an exciting and popular tradition amongst families across the nation. Whether this year is your first or hundredth time picking your own real Christmas tree, you will want to choose the best one available. At Weston Sawmill, we know all the tips and tricks to find the one. So, we thought it would be helpful to combine them in the following guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measure Your Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you make your quest to the Christmas tree nursery, take a moment to assess the space you have available in the room where you want the Christmas tree to stand, whether that is your living room, foyer or another room. Measure both the height and width to determine the maximum size your tree can be. We also recommend measuring your tree stand for reference to ensure it fits perfectly. This step is crucial in avoiding any last-minute surprises when you bring your tree home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know Your Christmas Tree Types <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to Christmas trees, not all of them are the same. It\u2019s worth having a general idea of different types. In the UK, you will typically come across two main types of Christmas trees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norway Spruce<\/strong> – When you think of a classic Christmas tree, it\u2019s more likely a Norway Spruce. Known for its lovely pine scent and triangular shape. However, it has shorter needle retention, so be prepared for some needle shedding. Luckily, this can be minimised by positioning it away from heat sources as well as keeping it hydrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nordmann Fir – <\/strong>Known for its soft, glossy and non-drop needles, the Nordmann Fir has a wide base and it is a popular choice among families with pets and young children. It is also budget-friendly. It retains its needles well, keeping your home clean throughout the festive season. Unfortunately, it is unscented and lacks the rich pine smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you’re at the Christmas tree nursery, give the tree a thorough inspection. Look for vibrant green needles that are firmly attached to the branches. Shake the tree gently. if it sheds a lot of needles, it may not be the best choice. Next, ensure the tree’s height fits your available space comfortably. It’s also a good idea to leave some room at the top for your Christmas tree topper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A full and well-shaped tree with even branches will look balanced and can be easier to decorate. Walk around the tree to ensure it has a symmetrical shape from all angles. You don\u2019t want a tree with a noticeable gap of bare branches!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tree Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you’re happy with your chosen tree, make sure it’s securely tied to your vehicle for the journey home. This will prevent any damage to the tree and ensure it arrives in its original condition. The perfect Christmas tree doesn’t end there. Once you’ve set up your tree at home, remember to allow it to drop before decorating and remember to water it regularly. For more information on how to properly maintain your Christmas tree, read our other guides including Caring for Your Christmas tree<\/a> and Keep Your Christmas Tree Fresher For Longer<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Christmas Tree Advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Picking the perfect Christmas tree is an essential part of the festive preparations. Not only will it look beautiful, it also fills your home with festive spirit, a sense of nostalgia and that rich pine scent. So when the time comes to choose your tree, keep this guide in mind!<\/p>\n\n
