£95 for a bald christmas tree

[piprabbit]

Here.

Where would you hand all the kids toilet roll santa's and snowmen from

It's kind of retro.

Before the advent of fancy non needle-drop trees, we'd occasionally end up with something that looked like that.

It would have been real though, and would have cost about £5!

At least they don't sell the silly upside down tress anymore!

It is meant to resemble "nordic spruce" I think. They are not as lush and chunky as the real tree varieties usually found in the uk.

They have probably looked to some Scandi home and interior magazine, seen a real tree, thought "Hey, thats cool. SOURCE THAT TREE".

Those upside down trees were just silly, i hope all that bought them are ashamed of themselves , i quite like the bold tree though, it looks more realistic than the fuller trees.

I knew this was going to be a link to a JL tree. I thought it would be the dead twig one that doesn't even look like a Christmas tree though.

Yes....what was with the upside down tree fad?!
Could not get my head around that one!

I thought this was going to be a peddlars thread, where they were trying to make a fortune out of selling a tree from last year, with all the needles lost.

Might be good for the environment.

ooh, we haven't done pedlars for at least a week. Will go and have a nosey, their website is always good for side splitting mirth.

Ha ha! There's more bush than that in my 'lady garden'!!!

celebmum, this one does seem to be made from pubic clippings. With glitter.

Well I thought the upside down ones were plainly ridiculous but then ds's Christmas traditions book suggested that it was actually an old tradition. A quick scan on the Internet suggest that was indeed how they were used in days of old - hung upside down from ceiling!!

Not sure our ceilings would withstand that!

£95!!! there's an anaemic looking one in the wood behind the house i could sell you for a fiver, if you're interested

I like a full bush me, much more cosy

Ha ha! Pmsl piprabbit! Thats brilliant!

i love this tree
granted i bought mine off ebay for £30 and no way would i pay the £95 price tag
it s perfect for my rustic dining room .dh is allergic to real christmas trees.
my family room tree is a great big bushy artifical one as i agree theyre more cosy.
i love the snowy paper tree too that goes upstairs in my bedroom with pearl and glass decorations.
i just love christmas trees full stop-appart from those upside down ones.
