Besides their new vegan and vegetarian festive food, Waitrose & Partners have also launched an edible Christmas tree, perfect for environmentally conscious consumers looking for a multi-purpose tree that could be re-used or to give to friends and family as a festive host gift.
The Rosemary Christmas Trees are grown and pruned to resemble the shape of a Christmas tree. Standing at around 30cm in height, just under a third of the size of an average Christmas tree, these aromatic miniature trees are edible and give the home a distinct refreshing fragrance.
Their needle-like leaves make them the perfect alternative for the festive season and can be decorated to look just like their larger traditional counterparts. They can be used as a decoration in the lounge, placed on the kitchen window sill or even as a Christmas table centrepiece where guests can pick the tree’s leaves to garnish their own festive feast – making them the perfect gift for foodies.
