Christmas tree RENTAL?

Show all headers | View raw

Anyone know of any company in (or near) Tyneside doing Christmas tree 
_rental_? They exist in some other counties, mainly in the south. The 
idea is, you get delivered a living tree in a pot, decorate (and look 
after - mainly water!) it over the festive season, and then early in 
January, rather than taking it to the tip, the company collect it, and 
look after it during the rest of the year. (Some families rent the same 
tree every year; others, as any given tree will of course get bigger as 
it grows, get a different one each year, so it still fits the space 
available.

Some people like the idea as they don't like the idea of killing a tree, 
but still like to have a real tree - more satisfying (smell, etcetera). 
[Also, a living tree won't shed needles.]

I'm not after discussion of whether the idea is daft or not - only 
seeking whether any company is doing it; as I say, there are companies 
in some other counties that do, but in the last couple of years, I 
haven't found any around Tyneside.
