Nordmann Fir (Abies nordmanniana) - Pot Grown Christmas Tree
Great shape and longer lasting
Pot grown Nordmann Fir is a popular choice for a living Christmas tree, combining excellent needle retention with the classic shape and glossy green foliage that has made this variety a festive favourite across the UK.
Its soft, family-friendly needles grow on strong, tiered branches that are ideal for displaying larger baubles and decorations. As a pot grown tree, it has been grown with its roots established in the pot, making it a practical choice for seasonal display in the home.
More About Nordmann Fir
Nordmann Fir originates from the Caucasus Mountains, between Turkey and Georgia. Seed sourced from Ambrolauri in Georgia is especially valued because the trees tend to begin their spring growth later and grow more slowly, helping produce a denser branch structure that is ideal for Christmas trees.
Later spring growth also makes the trees less vulnerable to frost damage, helping maintain healthy, attractive foliage. With careful pruning and the right growing conditions, Nordmann Fir develops the full, balanced shape that makes it such a popular Christmas tree.

Pot Grown or Plain Old Potted?
Pot grown trees are nurtured from a seedling, then planted in their special growing pot which is buried in a growing field. Pot grown trees are cultivated in a pot for most of their life and have an established root system. They are lovingly cared for until they are lifted out of the ground and make their way to your home. Pot grown trees are not potted or containerised so have more chance of surviving after Christmas.
Caring for Your Pot-Grown Christmas Tree
A little care will help your living Christmas tree look its best throughout the festive season and give it the best start for life in your garden afterwards.
Select a section below for our care advice.
Before bringing your tree indoors
- Keep it sheltered. Leave your tree outside in a sheltered position until you are ready to decorate it.
- Keep the growing pot. Your tree comes in its original growing pot, wrapped in a protective Climate Bag.
- Check the compost. Open the Climate Bag to water when needed, allowing excess water to drain freely through the holes in the base.
Top tip: keep your tree outside for as long as possible. Bringing it indoors close to Christmas helps keep its indoor stay short.
Displaying your tree indoors
- Remove the Climate Bag. Leave your tree in its growing pot and place it inside a decorative cover pot or suitable drip tray.
- Choose a cool spot. Keep your tree away from radiators, fires and other sources of heat.
- Protect your surfaces. Use a waterproof protective tray or mat beneath the pot to help prevent scratches and water damage.
- Check moisture regularly. Water as needed to keep the compost moist, without leaving the pot standing in water. Empty any excess from the cover pot or tray.
Top tip: a cool room and a short indoor display will help your living tree stay in good condition.
After Christmas
Once the decorations are packed away, your pot-grown tree can continue life outdoors.
- Move it to a sheltered spot. Allow it to adjust to outdoor conditions before moving it to a more exposed position.
- Continue checking the compost. Water when needed, allowing excess water to drain away.
- Plan its permanent home. If planting in the garden, check the variety’s eventual height and spread and choose a position with enough room to grow.
- Wait for suitable conditions. Avoid planting into frozen or waterlogged ground.
