The Christmas Tree is up and sparkling, once again our thanks to the Lutts Group for sponsoring it.

For those of you interested in this sort of thing it is an Abies Pinsapo which is an ‘evergreen conifer making a slow-growing medium tree with blunt grey-green needles arranged all round the shoot. Cones pale green or purple when young, ripening brown’ (my thanks to the RHS).

Ultimately it could grow to over 12m high with a spread of over 4m – hopefully by then I won’t be responsible for hanging the lights on it!
