Real Christmas trees can cost up to 254% less than an artificial one, but over a 10 year period Brits can save £348.65 with a fake tree  

With an artificial 6ft Nordman Fir Christmas tree costing an average of £190.95, and a real version of this tree averaging £53.96 from Christmas tree farms around the UK, Brits can save up to 254% by purchasing a real Christmas tree this year.
