The owner of Britain's biggest Christmas tree farm has revealed what makes the perfect festive fir - and says the key is in the freshness.

Family-run Friezeland Christmas Tree Farm in Warwickshire sees visitors flocking from across the country each year to their 100-acre site featuring 300,000 trees. The farm has been serving families for almost 40 years since 1985 and sells tens of thousands of trees which have each been grown from seed for around 10 years.
