9. B&Q, Sutton
The DIY chain B&Q, which has stores in Sutton and Worksop, has a terrific collection of real Christmas trees. It also boasts a national delivery service for online orders. The trees, which come in a variety of sizes, have been cultivated over many years to ensure they reach their perfect size, shape and branching. Prices start at just £5 for the small, potted trees.

10. Homebase, Mansfield Road
Christmas isn't Christmas without the family gathering round the tree, says Homebase, which has a store on Mansfield Road in Daybrook and at Northgate, Newark. It has a huge collection of genuine trees, and many are now available at discount prices in a clearance sale. For instance, a Norway spruce, up to eight feet tall, has been slashed from £35 to just £10. Nordmann firs and Fraser firs are also available. Photo: Tony Johnson
