What type of Christmas Tree do I want and why?
The Traditional Norway Spruce
If it’s fragrance you are after then this is most definitely the tree for you. With a slim-line habit it’s also a great option for those with space restrictions. Not renowned for its needle retaining qualities it’s advisable not to bring them inside too early. Bringing the tree inside from the 15th December will ensure that it performs to its best.

The Nordmann Fir
By far the most popular tree these days, these Firs excel at needle retention. They will be fine for 3-4 weeks inside if cared for properly. Although not hugely fragrant they do still deliver an aroma to give your home that festive feel. With a broader growth habit than the Spruce the Nordmann is sure to make an impressive statement in any lounge.

The Noble Fir
Noble by name, noble by nature. This tree brings both needle retaining and fragrant qualities to your home. With a blue/green shimmer these Firs are simply divine. With a 3-4 week inside life span they are sure to deliver a true festive feel.
Noble Firs have great needle retention, are silvery-green in colour and have a lovely fragrance too.

With good needle retention and moderate fragrance, the Fraser Fir is a good all rounder.

Why you should buy your Christmas Tree at Burston?
To ensure you get the tree you are after, buy early. This way you will get the best choice and more importantly you will be able to give your tree the best start for Christmas.
How? Simple. We will not only help you pick the right tree for you. We like to cut a slice off the bottom of the trunk after you choose your tree, this helps the tree drink water which in turn helps with needle retention. Once your tree has been netted by us, it will fit into your car more easily.
Your tree should be nice and dry as we keep them in our outside covered area. When you get your tree home, put it in a bucket of water outside for as long as possible (preferably out of its net, although we appreciate it becomes tricky to get it through a standard single door). When you are ready to bring your Christmas tree in, just remember not to put it next to any heating units such as radiators.
When you have finished with your tree cut all the branches off. Either put them into your compost bin or into your council compost recycle wheelie bin. Cut the trunk into 10-inch slices and stack in a quiet corner of the garden to help encourage wildlife.
