How much did you pay for your real Xmas tree?

£19 from B&Q, little beauty, sized to come home in the back seat and leave in the garden bin. 🎄

Mountygirl · 11/12/2020 20:56

£56 for at 7.5ft Norman with free delivery from local garden centre. It is tall amd ver bushy and lux. We normally get a Costco 7ft £40 tree but our Costco is in a different council area and lower tier so we've been law abiding. I'm Edinburgh and you can't get a cheap tree here ( but making a mental note to check b&q next year!)

7ft Nordman fir , £49 b&q.
We went to 5 different local places and they seemed the best .
They were all the same price bracket though .
No cheap trees around here .

Homebase, Fraser Fir, £40. Bit smaller than last year, 6 foot I think.

8ft - ikea £29 with £20 voucher and we need a 2 drawer kullen

Orangedaisy · 11/12/2020 21:11

Another IKEA one here. On year 7 of them I think and they’ve all been great.

SimplySusanna · 11/12/2020 21:15

£60 for 7-8 ish foot.

However that was also for the experience... we went to the place, wandered around the forest (is it a 'forest' of Xmas trees? A Grove? A farm?). Then chose our tree and it was cut down in front of us. We even had a picture taken in front of it before it was cut!

BiddyPop · 11/12/2020 21:15

€76 for a 6 foot (not so common spruce - blue green not deep emerald green, shorter needles, bushier habit).

But I was happy to pay that as it is the best tree I've got in years and years! (We did go to the cheaper place for charity, but their trees were all longer needled, very blowsy and big but not densely branched, but not so nice at all - and not that much cheaper for a far inferior tree).

£42 for a 7ft silver fir from our local farm shop

Twobrews · 11/12/2020 21:28

£90 for one 9ft and two 6ft ones.

Simplyunacceptable · 11/12/2020 21:39

£35 from B&Q. I paid £20 last year from morrisons and it was bare by Christmas.

Changi · 11/12/2020 21:41

7' indoor one: nothing.
10' outdoor one: nothing. Actually, it's probably taller than that now.

£34 - it's 7ft and super bushy from a local small garden centre. We've used the same small plastic one for the last 10 years so I'm enjoying this proper one as a treat. Kids loved the whole rigmarole of choosing the right one too.

Shangrilalala · 11/12/2020 21:56

£56 for a 7 footer. But we’ve come home and the back is caked in mud. Don’t know what to do and feel a bit miserable as it’s taken the joy out of it slightly ☹️

Changi · 11/12/2020 22:00

Wash it off?

RhubarbTea · 11/12/2020 22:01

£22 from Wilko and it's perfect for our tiny living room. I love it! It's also potted so we're going to try and keep it alive in the garden through the year.

Norugratsatall · 11/12/2020 22:06

£50 for a 7 footer, local small garden centre type place. @Shangrilalala just take it outside and hose it down!

Shangrilalala · 11/12/2020 22:07

Yes, I do wish it was that easy but it’s thick with mud. At that price I really don’t expect to have to be faffing about, trying to make it clean enough to bring into the house.

Wrenna · 12/12/2020 02:59

$39.99 US at Home Depot, 6 Ft. Noble Fir.

BooseysMom · 14/12/2020 04:17

@RhubarbTea.. that's the one we've got and we've got a tiny living room too so it fits brilliantly in one corner. Smile. We got one from Wilko last year too and it was a bit wonky but this year it's fine. They last well too and don't drop needles too badly. We put ours up 2 weeks earlier than usual so we'll see if it lasts as well. Great value tree.

Bloodybridget · 14/12/2020 05:11

£46 for a nearly 7ft Nordman pine.

Jojoanna · 14/12/2020 05:24

39.00 for a 6ft delivered from garder center ,, its lush

lollipoprainbow · 14/12/2020 05:47

£40, I asked for a 5ft and got a 6ft delivered ! It's gorgeous

BillyAndTheSillies · 14/12/2020 06:01

£60 for 8.5 foot from a guy who sells them every year in our local pubs car park.

Made the mistake of buying one from Costco last year because they were cheap, but you couldn't see them before you chose. Got it home and it had a good two foot break in branches between top and bottom and was dead a week later. We'd wake up to decorations all over the floor because the needles were literally just falling out and taking decs with it. The aftermath of taking it out of the house (earlier than twelfth night for the first time ever) almost convinced us to buy a fake one this year.
