The Christmas tree that will stand outside the door to No10 Downing Street will be chosen during a competition at a Gower farm today. The British Christmas Tree Growers Association (BCTGA) has brought its annual competition to Wales, with its 320 members choosing the best tree in Britain.
More than 100 20ft trees have been brought to Gower Fresh Christmas Trees for the prestigious competition, with the winner being announced by television presenter Jules Hudson.
Rob Morgan, who runs Gower Fresh Christmas Trees, has described it as the "Oscars" for tree growers. "It is a hard fought competition," he said. "There are more than 200 growers with us in Wales to compete to be the best grower. The judges are looking for the perfect tree, the right colour, the right height and there are more than 100 entries."
