Product Information

After browsing our range of Cinco tree stands, you'll have the Christmas tree stand element of the festive season covered. Next, it's time to make your Christmas as fantastical and bright as a traditional USA holiday, but with the charm and wintry magic of a classic British Christmas. At Christmas Trees Direct, we have everything you need. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. Our design philosophy has always been one of functionality first, and every care has gone into producing our range of live Christmas tree stands. Our range of stands has style, durability and are all easy to use, but they all hold water above all. Cinco stands are designed to keep, at a minimum, enough water to meet the daily needs of most Christmas trees. The Cinco Automatic Watering Kit can provide just that extra bit of assurance that the tree stays in the water. Firstly, it's important to understand how vital a role watering plays in keeping your Christmas tree looking vibrant and healthy. Think of your trees like cut flowers and the stand like a vase. In a very similar way to the flowers, a Christmas tree soaks up water from the bottom, which means the vase or stand needs to be topped up every now and again. Without access to water, your tree will dry out, resulting in brittle needles that turn brown and drop off. Not the look you want to come downstairs to on Christmas morning! Dr. Gary Chastagner, Plant Pathologist and Extension Specialist at Washington State University, an independent researcher and expert in Christmas trees, says that Christmas trees will continue to use water after they are cut in the field. It is this ability that keeps the tree looking and smelling fresh for extended display periods. But there are factors that will affect how long the tree will be able to do so. You want a tree stand that will function to serve these factors.

The Cinco Classic comes in 2 sizes for Christmas trees up to 7 feet and up to 10 feet tall. It is made from robust plastic with steel bolts to secure the tree tightly in place. This stand features a wide opening reservoir to make it easy to replenish water without getting scratched by needles. A spill guard prevents water from ruining carpets and flooring. Cinco expressIn all the excitement of choosing the best Christmas tree, it can be easy to forget the essential accessories required to make it absolutely perfect. Here at Christmas Trees Direct, all our tree stands show the suitable height, trunk diameter and volume of water held at a glance, so it's simple to choose the perfect stand for your tree.

This Christmas tree stand does more than just keep your tree stable. With a built-in water supply, the Cinco Express 10ft real tree stand continues to nurture your tree long after it has been cut. Access to water enables your freshly cut Christmas tree to retain its stunning bright needles and rigid structure, with low shedding and no mess to hoover up on Christmas morning.

The stand is then filled with water to help support your tree by keeping it hydrated. Bear in mind that the water level will need to be regularly topped up to prevent the tree from drying out, which would result in the needles shedding prematurely. Secondly, tree stands hold water, something that is vital for happy and healthy Christmas trees. Without being able to soak up moisture, the Christmas tree would be a rather sorry sight come December 25th! A tree stand allows the Christmas tree to absorb water freely to minimise needle drop and help it stay fresh enough to last the full festive season. The Christmas tree base clamps around your tree trunk, keeping it secure and upright at all times. No matter the size of your tree, we have a premium stand to match – even a 10ft Christmas tree stand! Our current range of Christmas tree holders can cope with trees from 4ft to 13.5ft in height, with trunk diameters ranging up to 17cm. The best Christmas tree stands are sturdy, have secure screws for a perfect fit and hold plenty of water to keep your real tree nice and fresh right through into January. They can also be kept and reused year after year, making them an eco-friendly way to support even large trees. Don't be tempted to add extra weight to the tree stand by adding sand or soil. These will reduce the amount of water the tree can absorb, which can lead to needles dropping.
