Christmas trees
hi all,
can i just ask if any of you have been to your local G.C. and weighed up the price of christmas trees so far this year, i would be interested to know what sort of prices and area , just a bit of research to see how my prices fair around the country.
I am looking for 4-5ft nordman, 7-8ft nordman and 5-6ft fraser, plus POT GROWN trees not potted please.
thanks

Our Nordmann is a cut one - the smallest ones were £25, and ours is about 6' tall and was £30. I think they were asking around £20 for a similar sized Norway Spruce - no Frasers, though.

i think if i could this is ofcourse as ive planted all my garden and some lol.it would be better in the long run to buy a potted plant and grow it all year and decerate acordingly .i think its a good time just after xmas to buy some of the lights they sell outside as they look brilliant round my weeping cherry all year round and this will help the planet and your wallet in the long run .like i say humbug but realy artificial indoors to but ofcourse its just my opinion lol

Just for fun, visit www.christmastreeman.co.uk where their motto is "A tree is for life, not just for Christmas". You can rent a live tree and it is delivered back to you year after year :-)

It's a good idea isn't it Barbara - it would be like seeing an old friend each year and you could watch it grow up! lol

Oh, wish you'd asked last week - I was there last Thursday, but I can't remember now what the prices were for those specific ones. Don't think I'm going again before Spring now, sorry.
