Potted Norway Spruce Christmas Tree

On Arrival:

• Remove all packaging immediately on arrival and give your tree a good drink of water.

Indoor Over Christmas: 

• Place your tree in a cool, bright position away from direct heat sources across the Christmas period. Avoid placing it near radiators or fireplaces, as these will dry out the tree.
• Water to keep the rootball moist.

Planting In The Ground Or Containers: 

• Once the festivities are over, your tree outside.
• Place it in a sheltered, frost-free area for a few days before positioning it in its spot for the year.
• Keep your tree in its pot on the patio or in the garden, ideally in a sunny or partially shaded spot.
• Repot it every 2-3 years into a slightly larger container, using good-quality compostm such as our Premium Professional Compost.
• If kept potted, you can bring your tree back inside from mid-November or early December. Continue the same care routine – with a cool position, bright light and regular watering.

Ongoing Care:

• Aim to keep the compost moist – watering when the compost feels dry to the touch.
• Watering should be increased during prolonged spells of hot, dry weather in summer.
• Fairly low maintenance. Just aim to maintain the attractive, typical ‘Christmas Tree’ shape by removing any shoots that grow in an incorrect direction.
• Prune away any dead, diseased or dying branches.
• Feed occasionally with a liquid evergreen-specific fertiliser through the growing season, from spring to summer.
• When repotting, avoid moving your tree to a container that is significantly larger than its existing pot.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
