Is it one of those in a pot that can replant it afterwards?

Real all the time but due to space I’ve got a slimline fake one now.

The quality of the fakes has got a lot better in recent years.

I remember as a kid the real ones shed needles like mad, we used to have to DustBuster every day!

I have a smallish fake one that I put on top of a sideboard, but might decorate my bass guitar and stand that there instead this year!

Real. Has anyone done the rent a tree option, where you give it back?

I totally agree. Thankfully most people will have an artificial tree.

That’s why I’ve been looking at the renting option, trees aren’t cut down they come to you in a pot and then are collected again when finished with

Artificial when you have 3 dogs and 2 cats.

Real Christmas tree. Love the family time of going to choose the tree, coming home and decorating it together. The smell of the tree is lovely too. We buy the variety of tree that don't shed their needles.

Real, but keep it in a large pot in the garden until the 24th. It's now 9 foot high and this will probably need to be its last year, so I'll plant it in January and buy a new 5-footer to start again.

My father started the tradition, and I love it.

Artificial

Leave trees in ground

Only my opinion

Artificial now as we went a few years buying the small real ones in pots and now have a garden full of dead trees as even repotted/replanted they aren’t built to survive unfortunately.

I've been lucky, then. Mine all dowell - the oldest is from 2000 and is around 18 foot now. Keep the soil they came in, wool around the base in winter, don't let it get waterlogged or compacted, and you might have better luck.

Sorry if that's all grandmother-sucking-eggs stuff.

Think we need to send them on their way now they’re a bit past saving unfortunately but will bear in mind for next time! Though Asda’s ones this year have been reviewed to be covered in ticks which is less than ideal!
