What sort of prices do real xmas tree's go for these days?

[mountainboo]

Personally I have an artificial tree but my ma & pa are coming to their house and I promised I'd get a tree and decorate it for them before they get here and they will only have a real tree. I will eventually find out how much they are when I buy one but for now I need an idea of prices if possible. I was thinking of either a 4ft or 5ft. TIA

�10 to �15 for a 4-5ft tree.

Cheers hawk, think I can stretch to that for the folks!

In our village, (which is in the UK BTW) we pay about �15 for a half decent tree with base, if you want a floor to ceiling one like i got last year it will knock u back �25 notes.

Ok now, steady on there dot, just because they brought me into this world and gave me a warm and loving home for 18 years of my life doesn't mean I should spoil them with a �25 tree. Just kiddin. I will stick with the smaller tree as they like subtle. Thanks

Would love to know where you all got real Christmas trees so cheap! I've been buying them for the past few years and have paid about �35 for a 5-6ft tree, mind you i do insist on a nordman fir with the thicker needles, can't be doing with the norway spruce that drop their needles as soon as you look at them!

as slinkycat says, some are a lot dearer, depending on the tree you buy.

ps. MB, just saw on another thread that you like 'the greatest store in the world' thought Id mention thats the DVD is free with todays Daily Mail apparently. Hope youre well x

[mountainboo]

Hi Red, thanks for that, my folks get the daily mail everyday so hopefully they'll keep it for me. Cheers red x

Hey Mountainboo,

Better late than never.

i bought a tree yesterday, with roots that I will hopefully plant and IF it doesn't die I will use again next year for �25.
