Where we deliver in Reading

Across Reading and the surrounding Berkshire towns, free.

That covers the town centre, Caversham, Tilehurst, Earley, Woodley and Whitley. Out to Wokingham, Bracknell, Newbury, Henley-on-Thames, Maidenhead, Twyford and Thatcham.

We cover the RG postcodes. If your area is not listed, we still deliver, and it is still free.

How delivery works

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 weeks.

Deliveries run 8am to 6pm and you do not need to be in. The courier leaves the tree somewhere safe.

Trees travel netted, inside a heavy-duty carrier with a cane to protect the shape. We use DX, a national carrier for large goods. They are good, but not perfect, so we cannot promise a date will never slip.

Delivery is free. No minimum order, no surcharge.

Which tree?

Nordmann Fir

The non-drop tree, and Britain's favourite. Thick, waxy needles that hold their moisture and stay on the branch. Soft and blunt, so it suits a house with children or a dog. Strong branches for heavy baubles. Watered, it holds four to five weeks.

Norway Spruce

The traditional tree, and the one that smells of Christmas. Sharp pine scent, classic shape, cheaper because it grows faster. It drops sooner, so put it up mid December and water it daily.

Pot grown trees

Alive, roots and all, at 2ft to 3ft. Right for a flat. Back outside after Christmas and it can come again next year.

What size?

Measure the ceiling and take off a foot for the stand and the star. Most homes want a 6ft tree, which fits a standard 8ft ceiling with room to spare.

Remember width. A tree is about two thirds as wide as it is tall. See our size guide.

Recycling in Reading

Reading Borough Council collects real Christmas trees in January and chips them for mulch. Check the council website for your date or nearest drop-off point. It is usually free, so use it before you pay anyone.

Berkshire hospice charities also collect trees for a donation. Otherwise, add our collection service at checkout. More in our recycling guide.

Keeping it alive

Saw an inch off the trunk before it goes in the stand. Sap seals the cut within hours of harvest, and without a fresh cut the tree cannot drink at all.

Get it into water and check the water every day. Keep it away from radiators. More in our guide to keeping your tree fresh.
