TIS the season to enjoy the smell of a real Christmas tree in your home.
Retailers such as B&Q, Primrose, John Lewis and more are selling real trees this year.
Nordmann Firs are considered the most sought-after Christmas trees across the European continent.
Deliveries for some Nordmann Fir Christmas trees are as early as 22 November, so there’s no time to waste.
If you’re unsure about whether to get an authentic fir Christmas tree, researchers from Surrey University say that they could help relieve stress.
If you’re unsure about whether you can buy a 6ft Christmas tree, some retailers such as B&Q and Bloom and Wild have other alternatives.
A real Christmas tree lasts for around four to five weeks, depending on how you care for it.
Prices for 6ft trees start at £35 depending on which retailer you choose.
The online garden store has Christmas trees starting from 3ft all the way up to 10ft.
Prices start from £39.99 for a 3ft Nordmann Fire – a tree that is grown in England.
This tree has soft needles that hold well and is considered safe for families. It also has tiered branches to keep decorations nice and secure.
If you buy from Primrose, your Christmas tree will be delivered 24 hours after it is cut down, meaning you get it as fresh as possible. This will help it last longer in your home.
Delivery costs £9.99 – customers can choose which week they can have their tree delivered between November 22 and December 10.
You need to water this Christmas tree once a day, especially during the first week it is in your home.
This Christmas tree has a glossy finish and is perfect for putting on large Christmas decorations.
Another Nordmann Fir, this type of tree is said to have been growing for 12 to 14 years in the UK.
Every year, while growing, the trees are pruned, shaped and handles and protected from pests and disease.
Prices start from £25 for a real Christmas tree sized at 140cm. The tallest Christmas tree on offer from Wilko is 7-8 ft, which you can buy for £85.
Some of the Christmas trees can be delivered as early as 25 November.
Home delivery starts at £5 with heavier goods £12 to deliver – next day delivery costs £8.
Grown in the Scottish borders on a farm, John Lewis’ Nordmann Firs are grown for 10 years before being sold to customers.
The tallest tree the brand sells is an 8ft Christmas tree and prices start from £75 for a 5ft real Christmas tree.
John Lewis also sells Fraser Fir and Korean Fire Christmas trees – prices for both starts at £79.
The Korean Fir is a rarer Christmas tree in the UK. The needles are mid-green, with a silvery underside, short and flattened, and very soft to the touch.
They also have excellent needle retention.
Standard deliveries are 14 days from the day of order. If you order today (16 November) the earliest it will arrive is 2 December.
John Lewis offers free standard delivery and returns until January 22, 2022.
This Nordmann Fir Christmas tree is one of the best value for money, being priced at £35 for 6ft.
The smallest tree available for Yorkshire Trading Co. is 4ft and the tallest is 7ft. Prices for Christmas trees start at £29.99 for 4ft.
Pre-orders are being taken for delivery on 22 November, meaning you could have your Christmas tree in your home as early as next week.

This retailer goes all out with its customer service, offering Londoners delivering the tree to the door as well as a full decoration service.
