Live Christmas Tree Hire

Hi

I'd like to hire a living christmas tree for my house in a pot instead of buying one, as this guy does - http://www.treesforrent.com/. I can't find a company that covers Bristol, does anyone know of any?

    christmastreeman.co.uk covers the whole country, but @ £65.00 for a tree for one year l think l'll stick with buying one locally :-(


    Happy moneysaving all.
  • Whatever you do avoid the Little Tree Company.

    We've just received ours - a cheap and mean little tree, already losing needles and going bald for £70. Definitely not the 5 - 6ft tree we though we were buying.

    No response or even acknowledgment to my complaint.
    Steer well clear of this lot, I certainly won't be using, or recommending them.
  • Why don't you buy one in a pot? That way you will have one for next year too! You'd have to start fairly small as otherwise you won't be able to drag it in next year. We bought one from Asda for £15 in a pot. It may not survive as it was the most pot-bound plant I have ever seen but we've given it a new pot and it looks great.
  • I take it all back. The 'little tree company' delivered a new tree - still on the small side, but a much better one - still alive, and in a pot!

    Would have been nice if they had responded to my e-mails tho, rather than just leaving a new tree outside without letting me know in advance it was coming.
