Christmas Trees

[GreenGoose66]

Hi all,

 

We’re looking at getting a real christmas tree this year - are there any recommendations on where to get one locally (ideally walking distance from lordship lane)?

 

Many thanks

There are usually people selling trees in North Cross Road market, outside the EDT, and in the cricket club carpark  opposite the old Grove Tavern on the South Circular.

I think also some years outside The Plough, if memory serves 

Don't know when they start to sell them, though.

Probably other places as well.

I got my tree from Gardenman (Nigel on 07559 862191) last year. delivered to my door.  Lovely tree,  good condition

He posted this year's prices in the For Sale section of the Forum on 11 Nov.

Do you mean there was a fair in the middle of Goose Green one year  solely for the purpose of selling Christmas trees?

In which case, no 🤣

Yes! It was dressed up like a winter wonderland but they only sold Christmas trees and maybe some hot chocolate.

It was in the west / downhill end of the park.

I don't remember that at all! But then my memory is crap these days.

Maybe it was the same people who sell trees outside the EDT, if it was at that end of Goose Green?

Was it an "official" Winter Wonderland?

[CPR Dave]

No it was just Christmas trees! 

 

Quite a while back now but it caused a bit of a fiasco on here, with the local councillor wading eventually on page 4. 

The guys who set it up still seem to be in business .

According to that previous thread, there won't be any Christmas tree sellers on Goose Green this year, as the council agreed not to allow it again.
