Is this the most rubbish tree you’ve seen in a town?

I understand councils are strapped for cash but this is one of the worst trees in a town I have ever seen, looks a pyramid to me. Anyone else got a rubbish one?

For a moment I thought the crane lift was holding it up. 😳

HeySeamus · 17/12/2023 12:30

Haha, the picture was posted on our local fb group whilst it was being put up, hence the crane. Needless to say, there were loads of complaints about the tree!

It's in Eastleigh, Hampshire- an uninspiring tree for an uninspiring town Grin

Day 10 of covid here, and these photos have given me a much-needed laugh!

@HeySeamus did someone get bored or was it taking longer than expected??😂

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 17/12/2023 12:39

@HeySeamus did they just catapult them Into the tree? At least ours were
(cough) lovingly placed ..

So many trees in playpens. Just NO

The one in Potters Bar is pretty shit. Next to the public toilets.

Cornishmumofone · 17/12/2023 15:29

@sprigatito Where is that tree? It looks familiar.

dizzydizzydizzy · 17/12/2023 18:06

I think ours came from the same shop as @HeySeamus 's one. I quite like it to be fair - at least after dark.

That's our local Tunstall tree it looks quite pretty lit up at night. The council gave zero budget for a tree this year so this was fund raised by all the local businesses, they put on a little fair as well.

bumblefeline · 17/12/2023 18:14

This was it at night time a couple of weeks ago

We don't even have one this year! We have a light up reindeer instead, like something someone would put in their front garden!

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 17/12/2023 18:23

@MissyB1 please tell us that it fell off the back of a sleigh….

Such a shame it has the barrier around it. What is the point? If someone wanted to steal or vandalise it, that barrier isn't exactly going to stop them.

Oh wow! First mumsnetter I’ve known from stoke!
