Overview
- Free trees will be available from 10am on December 6 on a first-come, first-served basis with a limit of one per household.
- Hundreds of trees will be distributed across 10 named locations, including Colney Hatch Extra, Borehamwood Extra, Hammersmith and Glossop Superstore.
- Recipients are encouraged to donate to food charities FareShare and the Trussell Trust.
- The trees have minor imperfections such as unevenly spaced branches or a slight lean that would normally keep them off sale.
- Tesco cites Censuswide research of 2,000 adults showing 24% of Britons put up their tree on the second weekend of December, shaping the timing.
