Christmas Tree Delivery

Order a real Christmas tree online and we deliver it free, anywhere on the UK mainland. You pick the date. We cut the tree to order, pack it, and send it out so it reaches you fresh.

No roof racks. No sap on the car seats. No dragging a netted tree down the street.

We have delivered trees across Britain since 2020. Nordmann Fir, Norway Spruce and pot grown trees, all British grown on family farms. New to real trees? Start with our complete guide to real Christmas trees.

Free delivery across the UK mainland

Delivery is free. There is no minimum order and no postcode surcharge.

We deliver to the UK mainland every day except Sunday. Trees go out from 17 November through to 22 December. Order from September to reserve the date you want. The best dates go early.

Your tree is cut and packed the day before it travels. That keeps it out of transit and in your living room while it is still fresh.

Choose your delivery date

You choose your delivery date at checkout. Pick the day that suits you and we work back from it.

Deliveries arrive between 8am and 6pm. You do not need to wait in. Our courier leaves the tree in a safe place if you are out.

Need to move the date? Contact us at least three working days before the original delivery day and we will change it.

We should be straight with you about one thing. We use DX, a national carrier that specialises in large goods. They are good. But like every national carrier they have off days, so we cannot promise a date will never slip. If it does, tell us and we will sort it.

Not sure when to have it delivered? See our guide on when to put your Christmas tree up.

How we pack your tree

A tree that arrives crushed is a ruined Christmas. So we pack for the journey, not for the shelf.

Each tree is netted first. That draws the branches in and protects them. The netted tree then goes inside a heavy-duty tree carrier, a bag built for this job. A strong cane goes in alongside it to hold the shape and take the knocks.

The tree comes out of the bag looking like it did in the field.

If a tree does arrive damaged, contact us. We replace it free of charge.

Which real Christmas tree should you choose?

We sell three kinds. Each suits a different home. For the full comparison, read our guide to the types of real Christmas tree.

Nordmann Fir

The non-drop tree, and Britain's favourite. Soft, deep green needles that hold on. Strong branches that carry heavy baubles without sagging. If you want your tree up early in December and still looking good on Christmas Day, this is the one. Needle retention is what you are paying for.

Norway Spruce

The traditional Christmas tree, and the one that smells like Christmas. Bright green, classic shape, and that sharp pine scent through the house. It drops more needles than a Nordmann, so it rewards a later put-up and a full water reservoir.

Pot grown Christmas trees

Trees grown in a pot, roots and all, at about 2ft to 3ft. Small, alive, and they can go outside after Christmas and come back next year if you look after them. See our pot grown tree care guide.

Cut trees run from 5ft to 8ft for most homes. We can go up to 60ft through our installation service, for offices, hotels, shopping centres and town squares. Not sure what size you need? Use our Christmas tree size guide.

We measure from the base of the trunk to the leader, the top vertical shoot where the star sits. Pot grown trees we measure from the bottom of the pot. A Christmas tree stand will hold it steady and keep it watered.

Where we deliver

We deliver a real Christmas tree to any address on the UK mainland. Every town, every village.

England: London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Bristol, Nottingham, Leicester, Newcastle, Oxford, Cambridge, York, Bath, Brighton, Reading, Southampton, Winchester, Guildford, Milton Keynes and Doncaster.

Scotland: Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.

Wales: Cardiff.

If your town is not on that list, it changes nothing. We still deliver to you and it is still free.

Ethical and sustainable

Our trees grow on family-owned farms across Britain. For every tree cut, at least one more is planted.

While they grow they do real work. They pull carbon dioxide out of the air and nitrogen out of the soil. A real tree beats an artificial one on both counts. You would need to reuse an artificial tree for about ten years before it matched the environmental cost of a real one. More on that in our real vs artificial comparison.

We work only with independent growers who have spent more than fifteen years cultivating Christmas firs. The trees are pruned through the year for an even, symmetrical shape, and fed for a deep, rich colour. How long a tree grows before it is cut depends on its type and the size you want.

Looking after your tree

Cut an inch off the trunk before it goes in the stand, get it straight into water, and check the water every single day. Keep it away from radiators.

That is the whole job. Full detail in our guides to keeping your tree fresh, stopping needle drop, and putting your tree up.

After Christmas

You can add tree collection and recycling to your order at checkout. We take the tree away and recycle it.

Before you buy it, check your council. Many collect trees free in January. Some charities collect for a donation and it is a good way to support them. We would rather tell you that than sell you something you can get free. See our Christmas tree recycling guide.
