You will be able to choose your tree and select a collection or delivery date that works for you.
For walk-in options, please see below question on missed dates.

​

Do you sell potted Christmas trees?

No, we don't sell potted Christmas trees. The Caring Christmas Trees project is very focused on sustainability - we believe that the trees we sell should help people and help the planet.

 

Many people believe that potted trees are more sustainable because they can be re-potted after Christmas. However, the majority of potted tree species cannot survive the climate in the UK, so they are shipped from Europe and then returned, which results in a large carbon footprint. In addition, those trees that do stay in Scotland will rarely survive being potted outside after Christmas, but equally will not thrive if kept in the same pot year round. 

Our beautiful trees are grown locally and freshly cut at a dedicated Christmas tree farm in West Lothian, ensuring top quality trees at a low carbon cost. We provide care instructions when you purchase a tree to ensure it stays beautiful, as well as sustainability tips so you can reuse your tree at the end of the festive season! 

​

What do I need to bring with me to the collection site?

Bring your confirmation email with you, on your phone or printed out, to ensure that we give you the right size of tree at the right time.

​

Can I choose my tree?

Yes! You’ll be shown a variety of trees in the size that you ordered. Pick the one you want and our friendly volunteers will net it for you.
