As many families across the UK mark the start of festivities by putting up a Christmas tree, one of the country's largest tree farms has revealed some top tips on choosing and caring for the perfect one - from the best type of tree to last across the frosty weather in December, to the ideal spot to place it at home, and a common mistake you should avoid.

Yattendon Estate has been growing Christmas trees across 300 acres of stunning countryside land in West Berkshire since the 1960s.
