The illuminated apple tree has been placed on sale in the Haskins Roundstone Garden Centre in Angmering for the eye-watering price of £2,999.

It is the most expensive Christmas decoration ever placed on sale at the store, and Haskins said it has already created ‘great interest’ in the store’s newly-opened Christmas department.

The three-metre tall tree features apples lit by more than 2,600 LED bulbs alongside bright-green synthetic foliage.

The tree can be safely displayed both indoors and outdoors, Haskins added.

Dean Ridley, retail operations manager for the Haskins Garden Centre group, said: “Despite a bad start to the year for most garden centres due to the cold weather through spring, we expect that our extensive Christmas department, where you can buy anything from a 99p bauble to the £2,999 apple tree, will be a boost to our turnover and the seasonal events we have planned will create a great atmosphere for all who visit.”
