Christine Walkden attended the annual competition run by the British Christmas Tree Growers Association, which showcases the very best Christmas trees in the UK.


While there, she picked up some top tips on keeping your cut Christmas tree in peak condition over the festive season. They are:


1. When the tree reaches your home remove one inch of the base of the trunk.

2. Stand the tree in a bucket of cold water for 24 hours before you bring it into the house.

3. Once inside the house, place the tree in a Christmas tree stand, and keep it topped up with water.


Of course, for a truly sustainable Christmas tree you could buy one which still has its roots which can be re-planted each year.
