Branching Out: Drake's Christmas Trees
By Drake's
Jul 13, 2022
We haven't sold Christmas trees at Drake's before, which - we suppose - isn't particularly surprising, considering our expertise lies more in fine threads than evergreen conifers. But for this festive season we're branching out (sorry, it had to be done) for a very good cause.
You see, we're not stocking any old sad sap spruces, instead we've sourced a small forest of superlative quality Christmas trees, stands and wreaths, with our profits going to Crisis, a charity that works side by side with people experiencing homelessness to help them rebuild their lives. Boasting the best needle retention of any Christmas tree (we've triple checked), our Super Grade Nordmann Fir trees are available both inside our Savile Row shop and to order, as long as you live within the M25.
Arriving in 4ft, 6ft and 8ft varieties, the Nordmann’s slightly wider branches are ideal for holding larger ornaments, while its short, dark needles have a waxy cuticle, giving the tree a distinctive shiny appearance and fresh pine scent. The wreaths are made from the same quality Nordmann fir and come in diameters of either 40cm or 60cm. Stands are available in 7"/8" or 12" and feature 1.3 gallon and a 3 gallon water resevoirs respectively, to ensure your Nordmanns are nourished well into the festive period.
If you require any further information, please send us an email at drakes@drakes.com and we'll get right back to you.
