Pot Grown Christmas Trees
Pot grown Christmas trees are just trees that have been grown in pots. These will have a higher chance of survival after Christmas. The only drawback of pot grown trees is that when they get 5ft and above the roots can burst from the growing pot. The main root is still there but there may be some roots visible.
How to care for a pot-grown Christmas tree
Pot grown Christmas trees need to be watered regularly and at no point should they be left to dry out as this will harm the tree. It may be beneficial to re-pot the Christmas tree when you get it, especially if you want to keep it in a container for the next growing season. We would recommend that any Christmas trees over 5ft be re-potted or planted out straightaway. This is due to the Christmas tree being unstable as the pot may be too small for a large Christmas tree. See our plastic Christmas tree pots.
If you want to re-plant after Christmas acclimatise it first by leaving it in a sheltered spot and keeping it well watered. Do not plant in an exposed position. A good growing medium will be helpful whether it is to go in a pot or the ground.
