EnidButton We buy ours from the market so it's bog standard, but it always seems to last. It doesn't smell very 'real' so I think they might actually spray it with something to keep it alive a bit longer. One year we never got around the recycling it and it was still living on the balcony in February Blush

Enid mines real and I always put it up at this time and it stays fresh all the way through.

Buy a decent tree then saw a couple of inches off the bottom, then drill a couple of inches into the centre of the stub which helps it to such up water.

Our tree went up today. We've had it for 6 years and I'm contemplating taking it down and buying a new one! Plus my son attached it with literally every ball we had in the box and I think it's over done now lol

We got a fake tree this year as DD is 8 months old and into absolutely everything. And it was only £40.
