Maybe they are in a pot?


I have one in a pot which has kept going for a good few years now.


You do have to make sure it is pot grown and not just dug up and shoved in a pot with its roots cut off to fit the pot, though!


Mind you I do have an allotment to keep it on!

I buy from a seller who is local and who sells plants etc. 52 weeks in the year. That means that I chose my tree from him (and pay for it), but he keeps it for me until a couple of weeks before Christmas in outside (cold) storage - so I only take it into the house just before Christmas. Buying too early and bringing a (cut) tree indoors will dramatically shorten its 'life', even for the non-shedders. If you have to buy early then ideally keep your tree outside (if you have anywhere) until you need it. Trees will be being cut and delivered over the next week or so, so buying a tree late doesn't mean that it's been more recently cut and is fresher. However, keeping it outside, particularly if there is a cold snap, will preserve its utility longer.

I drove past the site opposite the Harvester which has been referenced a couple of times on this thread yesterday ... and there were no trees. If you're going to buy a sawn off Christmas tree, leave it until mid December at least. How else is it going to last until 6th January?

Actually, they are behind a green fence (behind where the tree trunks are lit up by lights). They are not in the front section where they used to be last year.

The front section is the car park, isn't it?

      Gyms in dulwich

      You don't need a gym to lose 10kg. Get a set of dumbbells and maybe a resistance band, find a HIIT channel you like on youtube and workout in your room, eat clean and go out every day. £115/mo is ridiculous. I thought they were supposed to be about £20 to £30 and most people give up come February anyway.

      Point taken..I go 3-4 times a week and have done every week for several years however £115 a month is still a lot of money for many people (myself included) for a 'non essential' One can if one wishes excersise by running or Cycling, swimming once in a while. Gym membership IS a luxury...

      Tawny owls are hooting in Dawsons Heights very near me. But very elusive birds. Sadly now on the amber list.  I have heard the owls every night for the past couple of weeks  It is good to know they are here. They are quite loud so I think they are very near. I have never seen an owl in the wild before and wish I  could  see them.
