Real Christmas Trees

Hand pick the perfect tree to decorate this festive season. Choosing the right tree is important, that’s why we want to make it as easy as possible by supplying only the best locally grown, award winning trees. The best trees are always locally grown…

Available to BUY NOW

Our locally grown trees are Highland grown and we visit the grower through the year to ensure that each and every tree coming to Simpsons meets our excellent level of quality and standard, as well as keeping our carbon footprint low! Make sure to visit our stores in Inverness and Peterhead to shop our variety of trees.

We stock beautiful Nordmann Firs, which have a much lighter needle drop in comparison to other firs, meaning your tree will look stunning all season long.

Real Christmas Tree Tips

If you have a fresh cut Christmas tree in your home this year, here’s a few tips to make sure your tree lasts through the festive season:

1. Get Your Tree Ready – Once you’ve got your fresh cut tree home, remove the netting and prop it up outside in a bucket of water to rehydrate it. This also gives the tree the chance to adjust to the change in environment.
2. Score the tree stump – When plant stems are cut, the cells at the base often seal up to prevent water being lost, however this also stops the tree taking up more water.
3. Display in a cool place – Hot and dry air will dehydrate your tree, so keep it away from heat sources such as radiators and open fires. Trees will thrive better in cooler areas. Why not also try using LED fairy lights as they don’t get as hot as traditional ones (plus they use less electricity – a ‘Win Win’ situation)
4. Water, water, water – Make sure your tree has plenty of water throughout the festive season. Check your tree stand daily and top up as necessary, some firs and pines can drink pints of water a day in the first week of being put up! Thirsty work being a tree don’t you know!
5. Sugar treat for your tree – Like with cut flowers, you can boost your trees longevity by stirring a couple of spoonfuls of sugar into the water before topping up your tree stand supply, you can even mix some full-sugar lemonade mixed into water. Whatever you do, don’t use plant fertiliser as this is designed to be absorbed by plant roots and won’t benefit cut trees or flowers at all.

Pot Grown Christmas Trees

Potted Christmas Trees are now available to buy in at Simpsons Inverness. A great alternative to a traditional cut tree or imitation tree, with the benefits of it being a living tree, potted and ready to display. Pot grown trees make a brilliant feature both inside and outside the home, with the option to repot the tree to reuse the following year. Our pot grown trees range from 2ft – 5ft providing you with a wide variety of options for your home.
