There are many benefits of buying a pot-grown tree. Potted trees will usually need to have their roots trimmed to fit the container, meaning they can't absorb moisture quite so well and aren't quite as resilient as they might otherwise be. This is partly because the roots are kept intact, making them stronger, healthier and more stable. Potted trees may survive in the garden after Christmas but the chances of a pot-grown tree doing well are much higher. This sets them apart from potted Christmas trees, which are grown in the ground before being dug up and transferred into a pot. Pot-grown trees are grown in pots from seedlings. However, there is a marked difference between the two that shouldn't be underestimated.

This is understandable as they both have the root system attached and are both sold in containers. There is often some confusion over pot-grown and potted trees.

They also make fantastic outdoor trees that can be adorned with twinkling lights to brighten up the long dark nights. With some care and attention, they'll thrive outside and can be brought back indoors every Christmas for years to come. Unlike freshly cut Christmas trees, pot-grown ones can be moved into the garden when the festivities are over. Pot-grown Christmas trees are perfect for gardeners and those who enjoy tending plants.
