How do I keep a christmas tree living?
Ok here we go…..
I bought a potted living spruce tree for a outside Christmas tree.
However i have discovered it has very little roots, and this is not being helped by the high winds which are disturbing the roots and making it blow over and out of the pot!
So i have tied it up from all sides in the hope that will support it.
Any tips on how to keep it alive and how to encourage more root growth?
Ok just to verify this is NOT a cut tree but a rooted tree.
Also it has been repotted into a very large pot, and is staying outdoors.
it has had a a good soaking and feed of very good fertiliser
Re pot the tree in the pot with tree compost ( most garden centres sell it ) But mix into the compost a good measure of bone-meal, ( bone-meal encourages good root growth) Keep the compost moist but not sopping wet. You are right to keep the tree supported, but it would help if you could place the tree in a spot that is sheltered from the wind to reduce the disturbance to the soil around the roots. Good Luck!!!
