Its probably the centre piece of the Christmas season.

The Christmas Tree, a European tradition and one that is steeped in horticulture, is the main event on this week's episode of The Growing Season.

The various varieties of trees, their scents and how to keep them dropping needles at a rapid rate are all discussed.

Is there a fir that doesn't drop needless at all?   Jack, Lynne and Matt talk about something new on the scene that may fill the bill.
