Water holding Christmas Tree stands

It never used to be easy to keep your Christmas tree upright, let alone keep it watered. Many an hour was needed every year just to get your Christmas tree looking "straight" in buckets, often by using bricks or stones as ballast and wedges.

However, over the past 10-15 years or so, some very useful Christmas tree stands have been developed to make the job relatively simple. At the same time, Scientists from the Forestry Commission were able to prove that, if the Christmas tree stands also held water, your Christmas Tree would be able to drink it through pores in its bark, and thus prevent the tree from drying out and dropping its needles.

You may be surprised at how much water your tree drinks whilst it is brightening up your room in its own water retaining stand. See our tree care tips and instructions to discover more about the importance of a water retaining stand, and how to encourage your Christmas Tree to drink water.

Each year, we have to erect a large number of Christmas trees for display purposes and in our own homes. We therefore only stock Christmas tree stands that we have found easy to use, hold water and last. Listed below is a sample of the Christmas tree stands that we sell.
