Description
This slim pre-lit Christmas tree arrives ready in its own pot, with soft, feathery sprays of green foliage that fan out in open tiers from a slender brown trunk. The branches are layered loosely rather than packed tight, so the shape stays airy and natural. Small lights are threaded through the branches from the lower tiers to the very tip, catching the fronds and giving a gentle glow once it is plugged in. The tree sits in a square, pedestal-style pot with panelled sides and a stepped base, finished in an aged bronze tone that looks at home beside wood and dark paintwork. At 36cm across it takes up little floor space.
Because it is so narrow, it suits the places a full-size tree cannot reach: beside a hall table, at the foot of the stairs, on a landing or tucked into the corner of a living room or dining room. Set in the hallway just inside the front door, it gives a warm welcome the moment guests step in, and it sits neatly beside a fireplace or a dresser without crowding either. It also works well in a bedroom, a home office or a small flat where a large tree would fill the room, giving you the look of a lit Christmas tree without the work of dressing one.
There is no stringing to do: the lights are already in place and run at low voltage through a mains transformer that plugs into an ordinary wall socket, so choose a spot within reach of one. To keep it looking fresh, dust the foliage and the pot with a soft dry cloth, unplug it before cleaning and store it somewhere dry once Christmas is over. Left plain, the feathery branches and bronze-toned pot need nothing more, though a few small baubles or a ribbon bow at the top suit it well if you like a little extra colour.

Frequently Asked
How wide is the Cartmel tree?
It measures 36cm across at its widest, a slim footprint that fits a narrow hallway, a landing or the corner beside a sideboard.
Does the tree come already lit?
Yes, it is pre-lit, with small lights threaded through the branches from the lower tiers to the top, so there are no separate lights to string.
How is the tree powered?
It runs at low voltage through a mains transformer that plugs into an ordinary wall socket, so place it within reach of one.
Does it need a separate stand or pot?
No, it sits in its own square pot with panelled sides and a stepped base, so it stands on the floor just as it comes.
How should I look after it?
Dust the branches and the pot with a soft dry cloth, always unplug it before cleaning, and store it somewhere dry between Christmases.
