Xmas tree

[Nicos]

Being nosey as usual.....Is yours a rooted tree, cut tree or synthetic tree ???

I have a small rooted and a larger cut tree.

I have purchased a cut Nordmann tree - 6 foot high. I have paid lots for rooted trees over the years and all but one died. The one that is living is not very big but seems quite happy in the garden (except we dropped something on it and snapped the top off) - so there it stays. It had lots of cones on this year and I am going to plant some of the seeds in the hope that I can grow some trees for the future though I understand they grow very slowly.

Also a cut Nordmann, seven ft - sorry! We have quite high ceilings. I prefer a realy tree because it smells so nice.

Wouldn't mind having a potted one but the cost involved for one the size I would like......

Our 6 foot tree will just leave space for a star on top!! We have a terraced cottage (if there is such a thing) and it has quite low ceilings.

We've got a plastic one, and a blue LED one. I would never have a real one again, I loathe picking needles out of the carpets. BTW, Macro were selling large real trees for a fiver today.

Artificial tree for me, but I probably won't put it up this year. Daughter and the kids are going to the outlaws for Xmas and there's only me here. I'm working Xmas Day so no-one to notice whether I've decorated or not. Sorry, that sounds awful - as if I'm feeling sorry for myself. I'm really not - I'm looking forward to peace and quiet for a couple of days.

We have wooden floors so dropped needles are not a problem. We get the tree shredded after Christmas and hope to use the shreddings along with others to make a path up the garden.

4 ft pot grown Nordman - and fingers crossed! It's still outside the back door. I'll decorate it next weekend.

Last year for the first time ever we had an artificial tree, so that's gone up again this year. I really wanted a cut one, but since we already have the plastic one can't justify the cost .... shame, but there it is! I have scented candles to give the place the smell that I can't now get from my tree and which I love!!

The fake stayed in the attic this year (we bring it out on years when we are travelling down to our "ancestral piles" and last year when the toddler was just one). This year we have a cut tree (don't know the differences between the varieties, but it is not very long needled) which is about 6-7 ft and almost lost in the sunroom. It's big enough to take all of my non-breakable decorations though (for safety's sake!!).

We put it up yesterday and I love it!!

Moggsue, I have a mix of armoattherapy oils which I stick in the burner which is a wonderful "real" Christmas smell. I think it's called Noel, and it's from Absolute Aromas (or a name very similar to that) of aromatherpy oils suppliers - I got it in our local chemist and think it is much more real than the candles (but that might jsut be me). I thought it might interest you though, and it has lasted me 4 years so far and only half the bottle gone.
