Downing Street Christmas tree grown on Powys farm

Mr Fourie said monitoring the environment on the farm was really important.

“The biggest problem is getting a spring frost which can damage the tree… We also have to watch out for insects damaging the trees and any sheep grazing nearby.”

Downing Street sent the team a specific height and width, but the secret to the perfect tree, the pair added, was an “aesthetic shape”.

“People are looking for symmetry. Not too dense, not too wide, just a nice, well balanced tree,” Mr Reynolds said.

Mr Fourie added: “It’s a nice shape and doesn’t look too heavy. The layers are quite similar all the way up and we can’t really see any big gaps in the tree as well.”

The Christmas tree was lit up at Downing Street on Monday evening, with NHS workers, military personnel and members of the police joining the prime minister for the switch on.
