Garden experts shares what you should do with your leftover Christmas tree and one thing you shouldn't

Christmas trees are the stars of the show over the festive holiday. They're one of the first things families put up and decorate to get into the spirit, some as early as November, as their twinkling branches and colourful baubles are sure to fill you with the utmost joy.

But they are also one of the last Christmas decorations to begrudgingly be taken down. If you have an artificial tree, it can be easy to box it back up and place it in the loft, however for those who have had a real tree this year, then you might now be thinking about what you should do with it as we approach January.

Garden experts have explained the best ways to say farewell to your beloved tree, with plenty of 'green' ways to dispose of it, giving something back to the soil as a little thank you. One wildlife pro has also warned about the one thing you shouldn't do - sending it to landfill.
