A PENSIONER who grew a Christmas tree from a seedling she got free in The Sun needs someone to chop it down after it grew to 25ft.
Nannette Stratton, 78, collected coupons for the plant which was just 6in when it was delivered 25 years ago.

But the tree shot up by a foot every year and now overshadows her house.
Nannette’s husband Norman, who died, aged 90, earlier this year, spotted The Sun offer all those years ago.
She said: “It was tiny, it looked so pathetic me and my husband never thought it would grow. I put it in a flower pot but I had to keep repotting it until I put it in the front garden. Now it’s nearly up to the roof.
“I love it but it blocks out light to my bedroom.”
Great-gran Nannette, from Christchurch, Dorset, now needs someone to chop it down or dig it up and take it to a charity, council, school or a care home.
She said: “It is such a beautiful tree, a lovely shape and so green.
“I’d love to see it finally covered in Christmas lights.”
Any organisation who could give the tree its Christmas treatment should contact The Sun newsdesk.
