These potted trees are great to bring into your home for the festive season, and will love being planted out for a long life afterwards! Thy will look fabulous in your home decked out in tinsel, baubles and lights, and get bonus points for being living trees too. The perfect choice if you're short on space or not wanting to spend a fortune on tinsel, these trees are approximately 95-110cm tall. Their compact, bushy foliage is perfect for filing with decorations, from the flashy Tiffany bauble to the handmade cotton wool snowman. To keep your tree into the new year and beyond, the best approach will be to plant it outside, where it will be happy in a spot with full sun or partial shade. Use slightly acidic soil and water in dry weather whilst your tree is establishing. Originating from the cold climate of the Caucasus, this tree is fully hardy and can grow to be a real feature, especially outdoors where it will love being wreathed in fairy lights for years to come.

Please note that the sizes given are rough measurements. 

Scientific Name
Abies nordmanniana (von Nordmann's fir)

This tree has been confused with the Pinus genus in the past, but its current scientific name has been accepted for over a century.

Common Name
Nordmann Fir, Caucasian Fir, Christmas Tree, Christmas Fir

Origin
Native to the Caucasus Mountains, including areas of Georgia, Turkey, and Russia.

Light
Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. If placed indoors, position near a bright window but avoid direct exposure to intense midday sun.

Water
Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Water whenever the top inch of soil begins to dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Humidity
The Nordmann Fir thrives in cooler, more humid conditions. If outdoors, protect it from drying winds. Indoors, keep it away from radiators and consider misting occasionally to maintain humidity.

Soil
Plant in slightly acidic, well-draining soil. A mix designed for conifers or acid-loving plants works well. If potted, repot every year as the tree grows.

Food
Feed sparingly. During the growing season (spring to early autumn), use a balanced fertiliser formulated for acid-loving plants. Trees planted in the ground rarely need feeding.

Temperature
Thrives in temperatures of 4–18°C but can withstand colder conditions, tolerating frosts as low as -20°C. If indoors, ensure the room is cool and well-ventilated.

Pet-safe
Yes, the Nordmann Fir is non-toxic. However, discourage pets or children from nibbling on it to prevent accidental ingestion of pine needles.

Sprouts Top Tips
Your potted tree will enjoy living outdoors year-round, even in winter, as it’s accustomed to cold temperatures. While it’s happy to come inside for the festive season, try to limit this to around 10–14 days, keeping it in a cool spot away from heat sources. After Christmas, gradually reintroduce it to outdoor conditions to avoid shock.

Did You Know?
The Nordmann Fir is a favourite Christmas tree variety thanks to its soft needles that are less likely to drop, even indoors, and its symmetrical, bushy shape. Named after Finnish botanist Alexander von Nordmann, this tree has been a festive staple in Europe for decades.

     

    Important Information

    If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

    We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

    Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

    If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

    We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

    We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

    If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

    Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

    Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

    We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

    *Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.
