How to select the best Christmas tree (and keep it looking that way)

Nothing beats the smell of a real Christmas tree but knowing how to select the best Christmas tree and how to keep your Christmas tree fresh can be a challenge. In this guide, Will Williams, Soto Co-founder, creative director and five times RHS medal winner highlights five tips for the best Christmas tree this Holiday season.

Looking for a standout Christmas tree to be the centre piece of your festivities? Follow these suggestions for the best quality, low maintenance Christmas tree that will last you to the New Year.

Shape is important as it's the centrepiece of your Christmas scene. The Nordmann Fir is a traditional pyramid shape, perfect for displaying your Christmas decorations.
Proven quality of a Christmas tree can be hard to know. Purchase your tree where excellent customer service and a knowledgeable team are at the heart of what they do. Soto Nordmann Firs are grown on an award-winning farm in Devon.

Water your tree often. Don’t forget to keep the water in the stand topped up throughout the festive season. Father Christmas isn’t the only one that likes a festive drink! I’d recommend topping up the stand every few days.
Keep your tree cool. To keep your Christmas tree looking as fresh as possible for as long as possible, position away from a heat source such as radiators and fires.

Soto has selected the best quality Christmas Trees to take any stress away from buying a Christmas tree so you can focus on hanging the decorations, opening presents, and enjoying the Christmas lights. It really is the most wonderful time of the year.
