A few years back I was persuaded to stop being a scrooge and buy a real Christmas tree for once. Off I went to the Forestry Commission store and promptly suffered palpations at the cost of the grown trees and was left devoid of Christmas spirit for weeks. So why not grow you own tree or grow ones for friends and family and save a lot of money - yes it will take a bit of planning and a few years but these are low maintence plants once established!
