    The picture is the advertised one NOT the one the OP received. Would be interesting to see the actual supplied one

    I think you've been outside too long...
  • Goods "which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly" are exempt from the right to cancel. 

    EU guidence has the following to say

    https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:52021XC1229(04)&qid=1640961745514

    Plants by their nature they have a limited lifespan during which their features are preserved. In principle, the requirement for active intervention by someone (e.g. delivery company, consumer) in order to preserve their features renders such plants objectively different from other goods (textiles, electronic equipment etc.). Those other goods are not ‘liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly’ if they are stored in appropriate conditions and the consumer is merely required to refrain from exposing them to abnormal conditions before sending them back, in order to avoid the liability implied by Article 14(2).


    Therefore, a case-by-case assessment is needed taking into account the care necessary for the plants to keep their features over a longer period, including in case of return by the consumer. Hence, only where the respective plants are not ‘liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly’, the right of withdrawal should apply.

    Assuming it's potted in soil(?) I can't see it would be exempt as some water will see it live for a few days whilst it travels back, i.e the care required to keep a pine tree alive is very little and so the right to cancel should exist IMHO.  
    Let's not do the !!!!!! U ME thing and hear the consumer rights thing about the shape of a christmas tree please?

    Real trees do not grown uniformly like an artificial tree. No two real trees will look the same. 

    Different types of pine trees grow in different ways. Some are  bushy  like the one pictured. 

    Some are more slender.

    I think the one pictured in the initial post is the tree the OP received.
