How much for a Christmas tree?

[Myrrhcy]

A real one that is.

(have just put our up with the help of the dc and am now drinking wine to calm my nerves)

They are around £30 up here....

Bout the same here.

Paid £25 for a 6-7 foot non-drop one today (SW London)

£35 but it's 11.5 feet and was delivered free

ours is a non-drop 6 footer. £28

the ones at Sainsbury's were £29.99 for 6-7 foot but that's not delivered

non drop, 5' 8", 19 euros (approx 12.50 GBP)

locally grown too!

We paid £15 for a real tree from Christmas. But it is only 4 foot.

I meant from Tesco not Christmas!

NightyNight - dh paid 45 euros for ours yesterday

We paid £6 for a six footer, freshly cut that day and it's beautiful. Can't believe a friend paid £25 for a slightly larger one from a place a couple of miles up the road. And it's not as nice as mine!

finknottle are you in the city?
we went to the farm to get ours.

Just wondered because dh paid £30 for a 6' plus, rather bushy, very dark green and very nice looking tree from a local florist.

It's much bigger and nicer than the ones we have bought before.

He somehow shoved it in the car in between the children! (it was tied up though).

Where do you live?

£18.98 for a so-called 5ft tree from B & Q but unless I've shrunk quite a lot recently, it's nearer 6ft since the top is way above my head and that's with me wearing shoes. I'm 5'7.5" .

Wanted the 6ft tree really but I drew the line at paying £29.98 . Mind it would probably be nearer 7ft going by their measurements.

NightyNight - we're in the back of beyond in the Palatinate. One Pony Village near One Horse Town where dh bought it.
Couldn't complain as he loves hating Christmas & was Making An Effort to buy it with ds1 & dd who were sooo excited.
Ripped off I reckon but last of my worries

£25 for 6-7'. S London.
Our Dyson is still clogged from the needles from last year's 'non-drop' tree!

And dh got a new gadget - a tree holder with rope bits and a lever you depress with your foot which tighten & hold the tree in place.
Works, but cost 25 euros ( 18 odd pounds)
S'pose it beats pushing logs in a basket

The tree was 35 pounds & the Gadget 18-ish... drinks wine, at least that's cheap here. One pound 50 for a litre of my table hic plonk

I live in the Forest of Dean...good place to get a tree but the reason it was so cheap was because it was from a local farmer who does it as a sideline. We have paid more for a non-drop one before but still found it dropped needles everywhere so decided to go for an ordinary one this year.

35 quid for a 7-footer, with a dead patch in the middle. think we were had.

How do they make them grow non-drop? .

I got a 5 ft one from a local farm today for £28. More than I wanted to spend tbh, but that's the going rate round here. It is a damn good tree though. Very thick, iykwim and not a gap anywhere.
