The Nordmann Fir is the perfect choice for a traditional Christmas tree, known for its classic shape and rich, dark green needles that are soft to the touch and resistant to shedding. With its sturdy branches, this cut Nordmann tree can elegantly support all your ornaments and decorations. Its natural symmetry and fresh, fragrant aroma bring the essence of a winter forest into your home, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. Durable and long-lasting, the Nordmann Fir maintains its beauty throughout the holiday season, making it an ideal centerpiece for your Christmas celebrations.
Here are care tips to help your Nordmann Christmas tree stay fresh and beautiful throughout the holiday season:
Select a Fresh Tree: When choosing your Nordmann Fir, look for one with vibrant green needles that are soft and flexible. Give the tree a gentle shake—minimal needle drop indicates freshness.
Keep It Hydrated: Immediately after placing your tree in a stand, ensure it is filled with water. A Nordmann Fir can absorb a lot of water, especially in the first few days, so check the water level daily and refill as needed. Never let the water level fall below the trunk's base.
Position Away from Heat Sources: Place your tree away from direct sunlight, fireplaces, radiators, and heating vents. Heat sources can dry out your tree more quickly, causing it to lose needles.
Maintain a Cool Environment: Lowering the room temperature will help your tree retain moisture and stay fresh longer.
Avoid Additives in Water: Plain water is best for keeping your tree fresh. Additives such as sugar, aspirin, or tree preservatives are unnecessary and can sometimes reduce the tree’s lifespan.
Regular Needle Care: Occasionally, gently mist the tree with water to keep the needles hydrated and fresh. Be careful not to spray electrical lights or ornaments.
Remove the Tree Promptly After the Holidays: Once the holiday season is over, remove the tree promptly to prevent it from becoming a fire hazard as it dries out.
By following these care tips, your Nordmann Fir will remain lush, fragrant, and beautiful throughout the holiday season.

Christmas tree care
Remember to ask your supplier where the trees come from, and to choose a locally sourced and grown tree, or one that has at least been grown in the UK rather than abroad.
When displaying trees indoors, avoid placing them too close to a fire or radiator, as this will cause excessive moisture loss and needle drop.
Cut trees
- When you get the tree home, saw 2.5cm (1in) off the bottom with a pruning saw - We have already done this for you.
- Place in a stand with a well of water in the base
- Check daily and top up the water when the level drops
- With care, cut trees should last about four weeks
Trees in pots
- To reduce stress and damage to living trees, display them in a cool room
- Bring trees indoors as late as possible – the weekend before Christmas is ideal
- Do not keep living trees in the house any longer than 12 days, but be guided by the tree. If it looks unhappy, put it back outside
Either plant the tree out in the garden after Christmas, or (if you want to bring it indoors again next year) grow it on in a container, moving it into a bigger pot annually until you reach the maximum size that can be moved comfortably (about 45cm (18in) diameter and depth). Soil-based John Innes No 2 potting media is ideal.
