Tips to pick the best Christmas tree

Peter Dowdall gives some practical advice on choosing the right Christmas tree this weekend.  

To shed or not to shed that is the question. Well, it’s not that big a question really as I can’t imagine anyone wants Christmas tree needles falling all over the carpet or timber floor to be discovered in the strangest of places over the next six months.

I always give a small chuckle to myself when I see the sign saying ‘Non-Shed Christmas Trees For Sale’ and the reason I find it humorous is that all cut Christmas trees will shed if left for long enough.
