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?

      The Mansion Tax

      By DuncanW · Posted

      I would challenge that. Price is a function of supply and demand - that's what I learnt at school anyway. It doesn't matter what your costs are, if supply increases and demand remains constant, prices (rents) will fall. And vice versa

      The Mansion Tax

      Strange isn’t it…..other European countries s actually come up with solutions to house homeless people, which are pod structure, use of office blocks, etc. homeless are provided with thermals, warm sleeping bag and tent or pop up tent plus tech friendly clothing which means they are warm in extreme conditions. Us in UK? Nothing but chuckinto house of multiple occupation, which is usually not warm and not all have mould, but some do.. live in one room even if you are a family with good only knows what other sort of people…  not referring to ethinicity here but more along the lines of mental health problems, drugs, alcoholics. Single and families all in one property. Or if you are one of the lucky ones, into a hotel you go…   Why don’t we as a nation claw back more money in the form of tax  or avoidance avoidance, off shore accounts or other ways that rich or investors do buck the system….

      Buying loft from Southwark Council

      By milka234 · Posted

      Hello! I’m considering buying the demise for the loft-space above my flat (facing the classic renovate or move scenario for an additional bedroom or 2). Has anyone had recent experience of buying the demise from Southwark? Interested to know how they’re handling the premium/valuation.  thanks!
