"Some people may see it as an extravagance but what is Christmas without a tree to put your presents round? They may buy a smaller one and we have seen an increase in people wanting living potted Christmas trees that they can plant in their garden and dig up year after year at Christmas.” She says they do take more looking after than people think though. “People don’t realise that they need watering all year round, even when it rains as the branches act like an umbrella.
