Alternatives to Christmas tree?

I feel bad about having a real tree for just a couple of weeks. Really wanted to rent an Xmas tree from a new website which rents them out and re-uses them year after year, but DH has refused as too pricey...

I have looked for other options, this is the nicest but no longer available
www.johnlewis.com/230632430/Product.aspx.

Any other suggestions on where to look?
Thanks...

I love that one too - saw it in RL a couple of months ago and it looks even better. Wasn't sure if the rest of the family would go for a non-traditional tree though!

Round here garden centres often have the best selections so if there is a big one near you might be worth a look?

Thanks, I will check out the local garden centres but they mainly have artificial trees.

Think I'd rather have something which isnt trying to look like a real tree, IYSWIM, which is why I liked the John Lewis one.

Would it be worth googling companies that supply shops with stuff for their window displays? A shop near me has had a very similar tree to the JL one in it's window for the past few Christmases...
