    Pick you up A short niddle Pine. That is what we use to have when I was growing up. Just keep water in the pot she is in, and she will stay green, until you through her out.

    We've got 1 that leaves glitter all over the place for at least 3 months after Christmas

    It's a great way to keep the hoover in use during December mate.
    Just be like 98% of us an keep it fake lol.
    Only plus side is the nice pine scent and the branches seem to hold heavier decorations. Imho the downside outweighs the upside but as a 1 off experience I'd say go for it. If you have young kids it's like bubble wrap to them

    Cut off about 3 inches from the bottom so it will uptake water better.
    Make sure to check the water level daily because they will wick up a lot of water.

    A live one is an excellent choice.

    No garden to plant it mate, I'd have to stick it in the groom lol. I've had a look and I can get one for £40, 7ft. Seen mentions of 'resivoir stand'?
