🎥 WATCH | Trees of all shapes and sizes … Partick-based West End Garden Centre is offering free delivery on Christmas trees.
#sponsored #ad
The garden business in Peel Street is taking in its largest-ever stock of trees.
Around 500 are now on sale at the premises which is situation on the corner of the West of Scotland Cricket Ground.
Hundreds more will be coming in over the next few weeks.
And to make it easier for customers to choose, the trees are being ‘planted out’ in rows.
The trunks have been drilled at the base, and the trees graded by height and variety and placed on special display stands.
The effect makes the yard look like a forest of fir in the heart of the West End.
Owner Martin McCarron said he wanted to show off the trees in the best possible way.
“No one else is really doing what we are doing.
“We want people to easily see what kind of tree they are buying.
“This way, you can see the shape and height and better imagine how looks in its base.”
The trees are from a grower in Dundee, and more stock is expected to travel over in the coming weeks.
West End Garden Centre has a variety of trees in stock.
Martin explained: “There are two main types: a Nordman fir, which is a much bushier tree and a darker green.
“And there is a Fraser Fir, which is more narrow with a silver, blue underside, and that’s got a slightly stronger smell.
“We have also got pot grown trees in both types.
“They are grown in their pots and have all their roots, which means you can either put them in a bigger pot after Christmas or plant them in the garden.”
Trees come in all shapes and sizes from four to 14-ft and higher.
Martin is offering a free delivery service for people living locally.
The next few weekends will be busy as people effectively kick off the festive season.
The garden centre also has a range of Easyfix stands that fit the drilled bases.
“We have plenty of trees to go around, but with us offering a free delivery service, they do go fast.
“These first few weekends are going to be very busy - I would try and get in as quick as you can.
* West End Garden Centre is at 40-44 Peel St, Glasgow G11 5LU and www.westendgardencentre .com. The garden centre is open seven days a week, 10am to 5pm.
Still better if their potted & rooted so they arent dead on delivery.

Scotland’s biggest ever ice rink opens today. Take a look inside. @elfingrove #kelvingrove #Glasgow #winterwonderland #iceskating.
Search ‘Elfingrove’ on Facebook and Instagram for more details.
Think its dear I'm 66 a pensioner ive loved skating sinse i was a girl wont pay16 pound
Can family members come to watch without a ticket? Is the ticket only for entry to the ice rink?
When I realised it was 40 quid for 1 hour for me to go with my wife and wean, I had to weigh that against the fun I'd get out of spending that in the Three Judges with Big Wullie across a whole evening with some pakora to see me home. Elfingrove, you came a distant second.
Magical experience ✨✨✨
Well, the Itison team had to redeem itself after the last Elfin’ disaster! Good to see the CEO has taken the feedback seriously! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The world has been enjoying Glaswegian hospitality this week.
And it’s great to see the city’s bars and restaurants getting some VIP attention and much-needed custom.
Looks like it was a great night out @brelbar.
