“But be early to get your special tree as they sell out quickly,” he said.
The Christmas Tree Sale is a major fundraiser for Rotary Club of Padstow, with proceeds of the day used to support both local and international projects.
A tip on care of your special tree is to treat it like a cut flower in a vase.
Keep the base submerged in water and continually top it up throughout the month. Place your tree in a spot the gets filtered morning light and try to avoid the heat of the afternoon sun.
When the festive season is over, dispose of your tree composting or cutting it up and placing it in your green waste recycling bin.
