Christmas tree growers are expecting a bumper festive season this year as people seek to be more environmentally friendly.<br />
<br />
The British Christmas Tree Growers Association are expecting over seven million trees to be sold in the UK in the coming months.<br />
<br />
They say that the figure has been steadily rising in recent years as families turn their back on fake trees which are usually made of plastic.<br />
<br />
On average, fake trees survive just three years before being thrown away and often put into landfill.
