For those who have Christmas trees where people say "is it real?" Where did you get it from?

We have always had a real Christmas tree but DH can't be bothered with having one this year. We always find we are never able to get rid of it and and it's an extra job to do.

I will really miss the gorgeous smell and the shape of a Nordmann is my favourite. I'm not keen on the tall pencil thin type ones.

If anyone has a Christmas tree that people ask "oh wow, is it a real tree?" Can I ask where you got it from?

Also, for those who may have Balsam Hill, are they really worth the money?!

Balsam hill

Balsam hill - but only the more expensive ones (they have various grades of them)

I know this isn't what you asked but we leave ours outside every year with the green bin and it's always collected no problem.

Our village always has a tree chap who sets up in the high street car park to shred trees for free but we ALWAYS end up missing the day he comes

I have seen a Balsam hill tree that I'm very tempted by but it seems so expensive and if I got it and it looked very fake I would be gutted!
