Potted Christmas tree
£49.99
Description
The tree
A Christmas tree that lives on
This is a pot grown Christmas tree. The roots stay intact. The tree is alive. After Christmas, you plant it in the garden or keep it in the pot for next year.
We grow Nordmann Fir. Firm, deep green needles. Low needle drop. It holds well indoors for three to four weeks without shedding.
Sizes run from 2ft to 5ft. These trees suit homes where a large cut tree does not fit, or where you want a tree that goes on giving after the festive season ends.

The sustainable choice
A real tree you keep for years
A living Christmas tree does not end at Christmas. After the festive season, plant it in the garden. In good soil with room to grow, Nordmann Fir puts on several inches a year.
Smaller trees work well as long-term pot plants. A 2ft or 3ft tree can stay in the pot for two or three seasons. Move it to a bigger pot each spring with fresh compost.
Real trees capture CO2, including after they leave us. We source from sustainable UK plantations where every tree sold is replaced with a new sapling.

How to care for it
Four steps for a healthy tree
01
Water it
Check the soil every two days. Keep it moist, not waterlogged. A pot grown Christmas tree needs about half a litre of water every two to three days indoors.
02
Keep it cool
Place it away from radiators and fireplaces. Heat dries the soil and stresses the roots. A cool spot near a window works best.
03
Bring it in slowly
Move it into an unheated porch or garage for two or three days before bringing it indoors. This reduces temperature shock on the roots.
04
Plant or pot it on
After Christmas, move it outside. Plant it in the garden, or move it to a larger pot with fresh compost. Keep it watered through spring and summer.

Questions
Frequently asked
What is a pot grown Christmas tree?
A pot grown tree is raised in its pot from the start. The roots are never cut or dug up. The root system stays intact and the tree stays alive. After Christmas, you can plant it or keep it in the pot for another season.
Do potted Christmas trees survive outside?
Yes. Nordmann Fir is hardy in the UK. After Christmas, move the tree outside and plant it in the garden or keep it in its pot in a sheltered spot. Water it through spring and summer and it will grow on year after year.
How long can I keep the tree indoors?
No more than four weeks. Most people bring it in around the first of December and move it outside after New Year. The longer it stays in a warm room, the greater the stress on the roots.
Can I use the same potted tree next Christmas?
Yes, if the tree is healthy and has spent the rest of the year outside. Keep it watered and pot it on into a larger container as it grows. Many people use the same tree for three or four years before it outgrows the house.
Will it drop needles?
Nordmann Fir has very low needle drop. It is far better than Norway Spruce in this respect. A well-watered tree in a cool room will barely shed over a four-week period. Needle retention is one of the main reasons people choose Nordmann Fir for pot grown trees.
How do you deliver a potted Christmas tree?
We use tracked courier for most UK addresses, and our own team for London. Potted trees are heavier than cut trees, so we pack them with care to protect the root ball in transit. London deliveries arrive before 2pm on your chosen date.

If you request delivery to remote areas which are not normally delivered to by Good Elf you will be advised of any additional charges as soon as possible upon receipt of your order. Selected products are not available for delivery to certain areas - where possible we will advise you of these restrictions before you place your order.

Guarantee
Good Elf guarantees the quality of product and service we provide to the customer. If you are not fully satisfied with the service or product received, please contact us within 2 days of taking delivery of your tree and we will investigate thoroughly. In the event of a genuine issue with the quality of the product we will happily replace the product.
However, our trees are real Christmas trees, a naturally grown product. Each and every one is unique. We will not exchange trees because a customer doesn’t like the shape of the tree. This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
Trees need to be looked after whilst in your care otherwise they will not be covered by the Product Guarantee. For the best results the trees should have a stand with a reservoir of clean fresh water that is replenished every day. Very warm environments will cause the tree to deteriorate. Under floor heating and air-conditioning will dry out the tree very quickly. These environments are not suitable for cut Christmas trees.
Sustainability
Real Christmas trees capture CO2 and they continue doing so even in your home. The Good Elf offers the most sustainable option for your Christmas tree selection. We are super keen on reducing the carbon footprint of our products as much as possible.
We only source trees from quality growers — growers with sustainable plantations and a solid environmentally friendly ethos. Every tree we sell wouldn’t have been planted in the first place if it wasn’t to be used as a fresh cut Christmas tree. That means a nine-year growing cycle of collecting carbon from the atmosphere. After your tree is harvested it is replaced with a new sapling to start the process again.
We use British grown Christmas trees to reduce our ‘tree miles’ — or Santa’s footprint as we like to think of it.
