Will they last??

 

I'd of thought they'd be looking a bit bedraggled by xmas.

 

Calderdale did the same thing two or three years back and had to replace quite a few after they turned brown very quickly.

They always seem to last Dean, they go through the chipper 2nd week in Jan and they're still look good then !

[Ben]

How do you secure them John? do they drop into a pit and then you wedge them? This is my first year not putting up the Christmas trees in Northampton they usual have 6 trees, 5 x 35ft and 1 x 40ft. I've put them up for the last 19 years.

It'll have been Calderdale buying cheap stuff

How do you secure them John? QUOTE]

 

The two big ones drop into a large socket, get packed with wood and held with steel cables. The smaller ones go into Oak logs and secured with wire-rope.

 

I thought I was an old hand at 9 years !

[Foord]

We had to do that last week.

Why do LA's think that putting up trees is a job for its tree surgeons?

 

Gardeners plant things, we cut them down.
