Description
This pre-lit potted pine tree arrives ready to stand, its lights already threaded through the branches and its green needles dotted with brown pine cones. The Buckingham Pine is sold in a 3ft size, set in a plain dark grey pot that gives it a neat, finished base with no separate stand to fit. The branches are full and layered, with tips in soft blue-green and deeper green that look natural from every side, and the shape tapers from a broad lower tier to a slim leader at the top. It is 71cm wide, so it sits comfortably where a full-size tree would crowd the room.
Being compact, it suits the spots a larger tree cannot reach: a hallway table, a kitchen corner, a bedroom, a home office or the end of a sideboard. It works well as a second tree beside the main one in the living room, or as the only tree in a flat or smaller home where floor space matters. With the lights already in place there is no string to untangle each December, and the pot means it can go straight onto a table or the floor once unpacked. That makes it a thoughtful Christmas present for anyone short on space who still wants a proper tree.
The pine cones sit among the branches as part of the tree's dressing, so it looks finished as soon as it is shaped. When you first unpack it, fluff each branch out gently, working from the bottom tier upwards, to open the tips and fill any gaps. Between seasons, dust the needles with a soft dry cloth and store the tree somewhere cool and dry, loosely covered, so the branches keep their shape. For a simple finish, add a few small baubles or a ribbon, or leave it just as it is and let the lights and cones do the work.
