How delivery works

You choose your delivery date at checkout. We cut and pack your tree the working day before it travels, so it arrives fresh rather than having stood on a forecourt for a fortnight.

Deliveries run between 8am and 6pm. 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 specialises in large goods. They are good, but like any national carrier they have off days, so we will not promise a date can never slip. If it does, tell us and we will sort it.

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

Which Christmas tree should you choose?

Nordmann Fir

The non-drop tree, and Britain's favourite by a distance. Its needles are thick, waxy and dark green, and that waxy coat holds moisture in, so the tree loses water slowly and the needles stay on the branch. Watered, it holds four to five weeks.

The needles are soft and blunt, which matters in a house with small children or a dog. The branches are strong and grow in well-spaced tiers, so they carry heavy glass baubles without sagging and leave room for decorations to hang properly.

The trade is scent. A Nordmann barely smells. You are buying needle retention, and for most families that is the right deal.

Norway Spruce

The traditional tree, and the one that actually smells of Christmas. Classic conical shape, deep forest green, and a sharp pine scent that fills a whole house.

It drops more than a Nordmann. The needles are thinner and less waxy, so they dry faster. Put it up in mid December rather than late November, keep it away from the radiator, water it daily, and it will be at its best on the day that counts.

It is also cheaper, because it grows to 6ft in five or six years where a Nordmann takes about ten.

Pot grown trees

Alive, roots and all, at about 2ft to 3ft. Right for a flat or an apartment in the centre, or for anyone who would rather not cut a tree down. It goes back outside after Christmas and can return next year. See our pot grown tree care guide.

What size tree do you need?

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

Most Milton Keynes houses are modern, with standard 8ft ceilings. That means a 6ft tree, which is the most popular size in Britain for exactly this reason. A 7ft tree needs more headroom than most new-builds have, and an 8ft tree will bend its star against the plaster.

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

Recycling your Christmas tree in Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes 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 Milton Keynes this is free, so use it before you pay anyone.

Local hospice charities also run tree collections in January in exchange for a donation. Your tree gets recycled, a hospice gets funded, and you do not have to move it. Bookings open in December and slots fill quickly.

If neither suits, add our collection service to your order and we will take it away. Check the free options first though. We would rather tell you 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 take up water at all, no matter how full the reservoir looks. This is the step everyone skips and it is the one that decides everything.

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.
