Your Spruce tree is growing in its organic pot filled with top-notch compost, so no green fingers are required, just add natural daylight and water. It is important to place your tree outside straightaway. This is its natural environment even in the chilliest winter. Spruce trees can tolerate temperatures a slow as -20C. Your tree's compost has been enriched with a blend of 100% organic nutrients to create the perfect balance of nourishment so your tree continues to flourish in its new garden.

Plant your tree (still in its organic pot so the roots are not disturbed) in an outdoor flower pot 15-20cm wide and with holes so excess water can drain away. It may also be planted in a sunny spot in any garden.
