🎄 How to Pick the Perfect Christmas Tree (And Support a Wonderful Local Cause)

Christmas has officially arrived at Wilkinsons Plant Centre and our yard is now full of fresh, real Christmas trees ready to head to their forever homes. Whether you love a tall statement tree or a neat, classic shape, we’ve got something to suit every space — and this year, your tree can also help support a wonderful local charity.

Here’s our simple guide to choosing the perfect Christmas tree, plus how your visit can make a real difference this festive season.

⭐ Step 1: Choose the Right Size for Your Space

Before you fall in love with the first tree you see (we know it’s tempting), take a quick measurement at home. Allow a little extra height for:

• Your tree stand

• The top decoration

• And a bit of breathing room from the ceiling
  

At Wilkinsons, our trees are colour-tagged for easy choosing:

🎄 Orange Tag (5–7ft) – £34.99 🎄 Blue Tag (6–7ft) – £47.99 🎄 White Tag (6–8ft) – £54.99

🌲 Step 2: See Your Tree Open Before You Buy

Unlike supermarkets where trees are already tightly wrapped, you get to see your tree fully opened before you choose it. That means:

• You see the true shape

• You can check fullness and symmetry

• You know exactly what you’re taking home
  

Once you’ve chosen, we’ll wrap your tree for you, ready for easy and safe transport.

We also have a limited supply of potted Christmas trees for anyone looking for a reusable, living tree option.

❄️ Step 3: Keep It Looking Fresh All Christmas

A few simple tips will keep your tree looking its best right through to the big day:

• Make a fresh cut at the base before placing it in water

• Keep the stand topped up daily

• Avoid placing it too close to radiators or fires
  

Our team are always happy to give advice when you choose your tree.
