Delivery is carried out by courier within the specified territory. Online stores also present a large assortment of Christmas trees, as well as decorative items, pyrotechnics and garlands. Some companies are also engaged in professional installation and fixing of Christmas trees.

Ordinary domestic Christmas trees are the most popular and affordable. They are unpretentious in care, have a beautiful green color and a scent familiar from childhood. Danish spruces, or Nordmann firs, are darker than Russians and look nobler. Their needles are slightly larger, and their paws form a regular conical shape. Recently, the New Year’s pine has become popular. Pine trees look original and crumble less, and also fill the house with a resinous aroma.
Online stores are able to satisfy the most discerning customer – their assortment includes colored spruces, spruce branches and even fully decorated gift trees
If you buy a tree at the bazaar, it is better to do it in advance: on the eve of the holiday, all good trees will simply be dismantled. However, the purchased spruce should be stored tied up in the cold – in the garage or on the balcony. It should be decorated only before the New Year, so the tree will stand longer and will not crumble. Pay attention to the barrel of your purchase, it must be thick. It is not difficult to take care of the tree: during installation, the lower part of the trunk is cleared of bark, and two planks are nailed perpendicularly to its base. The tree with the resulting cross is installed in a bucket of a suitable size, into which sand is poured. After that, the tree must be watered regularly.
