I have bought an M & S "Musical Advent Gift Bag" containing a live tree
about 8" tall. The one I bought last year died so I would appreciate
any advice on how to care for the tree. I would eventually like to put
the tree in the garden.

Whatever else you do to it, two weeks indoors will drastically cut it's
chances of survival.


I've heard it said a Christmas tree indoors in a centrally heated house
needs a gallon of water per day to survive. I would put it in a container
which you can give this amount of water without it going all over the
floor.

blub blub bluub !
A gallon for an 8" tree :~))))))


Inches? Inches? That's not a tree, it's barely even a seedling.

But yes, I missed that. :-}
