This is basically the reassurance I was after! I ended up finding the chap I bought it from on the streets last night, asked him and he said the same thing... I imagine the lack of water may mean going this early results in a rather tired tree come christmas day, but that's fine as I won't be here then anyway...
IME the trees seemed to last quite well. I guess it depends on how long before christmas you buy the tree though. I'd be interested in seeing a comparison between 2 trees, one watered and one not.
