We'd like to get a real tree this year, but never had one before and don't really know what we're doing! So I'm wondering....
what tree should we get? My research so far tells me Nordman Fir keeps it's needles, but a Norway spruce is half the price. Have been told a Norway Spruce should be ok if we keep it watered. Anyone have any idea? Would like to spend less if we can...
Where is the best place to get one? Order online and have delivered from a tree place or go to garden centre and get one?
If the tree is in water and we've lights on the tree are we asking to be electrocuted? I'm assuming not as loads of people do this, but Dsis is convinced it's not safe...
What is the best sort of stand? Will a pot do or do we need to invest in a special stand thing?
TIA to anyone who can answer my silly questions
