Dublin Christmas tree expert reveals secret to getting the best tree for your home

The owner of a Dublin garden centre has given some great advice for people when buying their Christmas tree, and there are two particular types of tree you need to look out for.

We went to Jesson Garden Centre in Donaghmede to have a look at the trees on offer this festive season. James Jesson explained to Dublin Live what you need to look for when buying your Christmas tree and the best ways to keep it healthy for the whole of December.

James revealed that a fierce rivalry exists between the two main types of Christmas trees on offer in his garden centre: the Noble fir and the Nordmann fir. While the Nordmann fir is usually deemed as the prettier option, the Noble fir is his recommendation as it is a considerably stronger tree and tends to last longer than its counterpart - and it smells better too.
