Christmas tree delivery across Leeds

We deliver across the whole of Leeds and the surrounding area, free.

That covers the city centre and the inner suburbs, Headingley, Hyde Park, Woodhouse, Meanwood, Chapel Allerton and Chapeltown. Out to Roundhay, Moortown, Alwoodley and Shadwell in the north. Kirkstall, Bramley, Armley, Farsley, Pudsey and Horsforth to the west. Beeston, Holbeck, Hunslet and Morley to the south. Cross Gates, Garforth, Whinmoor and Seacroft to the east.

We also deliver out to Wetherby, Otley, Guiseley and Yeadon, and anywhere else in the LS postcodes.

If your part of Leeds is not on that list, we still deliver to you. It is still free.

How delivery works

You pick your delivery date at checkout. We cut and pack your tree the working day before it travels, so it arrives fresh instead of having stood on a lot for three weeks.

Deliveries run between 8am and 6pm and you do not need to wait in. If you are out, the courier leaves the tree somewhere safe.

Every tree is netted, then loaded into a heavy-duty tree carrier with a strong cane inside to hold its shape on the journey. It comes out of the bag looking like it did in the field.

We use DX, a national carrier that handles large goods. They are good, but no carrier is flawless, so we will not promise a date can never slip. If it does, tell us and we will put it right.

Delivery to Leeds is free. No minimum order, no postcode surcharge.

Which Christmas tree should you choose?

Nordmann Fir

The non-drop tree, and the most popular tree in Britain by a distance. Its needles are thick and waxy, so they hold moisture and stay on the branch. Water it and it will hold four to five weeks.

The needles are soft and blunt, which matters in a house with children or a dog. The branches are strong and well spaced, so they carry heavy baubles without sagging.

The trade is scent. A Nordmann barely smells. You are buying needle retention.

Norway Spruce

The traditional tree, and the one that actually smells of Christmas. Sharp pine scent through the whole house, classic conical shape, and cheaper because it grows faster.

It drops. Put it up in mid December rather than late November, keep it off the radiator, and water it every day, and it will be at its best on the day that counts.

Pot grown trees

Alive, roots and all, at about 2ft to 3ft. Good for a flat, a small terrace, or anyone who would rather not cut a tree down. It goes back outside after Christmas and can return next year.

What size tree do you need?

Measure the ceiling and take off a foot. The stand lifts the trunk off the floor and the star needs room above the leader.

A Victorian terrace in Headingley or a semi in Roundhay with high ceilings will take a 7ft tree. A standard 8ft ceiling wants a 6ft. A flat in the city centre wants a 5ft or a pot grown tree.

Do not forget width. A tree is roughly two thirds as wide as it is tall, so a 6ft tree eats four feet of floor.

Full detail in our Christmas tree size guide.

Christmas in Leeds

Leeds does Christmas properly, and the city centre is worth the trip even if you are only there for the lights.

The Christmas market runs in the middle of town through late November and December, with the German-style chalets and the smell of bratwurst that goes with them. The city centre lights go up around the same time.

Out of the centre, Roundhay Park and Temple Newsam both run winter events, and Harewood House up the road is worth a look. Otley and Ilkley have proper small-town Christmas markets if the city gets too much.

Check dates before you travel, because they move each year.

Recycling your Christmas tree in Leeds

Leeds City Council collects real Christmas trees in January and chips them for mulch. Check the council website for your collection date and whether it is kerbside or a drop-off point, because it varies by area.

In most of Leeds this is free, so use it.

Local hospice charities also run tree collections in January in exchange for a donation. It is a good way to clear the tree and fund care at the same time. Bookings open in December and slots go quickly.

If neither suits, add our collection service to your order and we will take it away. Check the free options first. We would rather say that than sell you something you can get for nothing.

More in our Christmas tree recycling guide.

Keeping your tree alive

Saw an inch off the bottom of the trunk before it goes in the stand. Sap seals the cut end within hours of harvest, and without a fresh cut the tree cannot drink at all. This is the step everyone skips and it is the one that matters most.

Get it straight into water. A fresh tree can drink two litres on its first day indoors.

Check the water every single day. If the reservoir runs dry even once, the trunk seals over and the tree stops drinking for good.

Keep it away from radiators and wood burners. Heat is what kills Christmas trees. A cool corner will buy you two extra weeks for nothing.

A stand with a deep reservoir makes the daily job easy. More in our guides to keeping your tree fresh and stopping needle drop.
