Christmas Trees...

[Mick Mac]

Where is the best place in ED to buy your tree this year? Any suggestions.

[red devil]

Last year went to Plantnation, think it was a Norwegian Spruce, kept it in a base with a water reservoir and got no needle drop, about ?25 inc. delivery...

Just been to the Stannards? big garden centre on the A205 past Forest Hill. They are full of trees but empty of people who prefer the Homebase/B&Q chains. Such a shame, lovely shop. Not that we have christmas trees - I was there to buy regular planting stuff! But the place was empty. Just so's you know.

Thanks PR (and RD) - any idea of a rough price?

Is that not Shannons or is this another one on the A205?

Kham - are you around today??

It's that time of the year again.. when disused shops here and there and everywhere spring to life on short-term lets - and shifty, roll-up smoking behatted chancers peddle their shortarsed spindly twigs at ?30 a pop.

Merry Christmas.

B&Q have been identified as cheapest in the various newspaper stories (think you can get a 4 foot tree for about ?8.99)

But I like the lovely people at Plantnation who will bring it round to my house for me.

[ratty]

Just been to B&Q and a 4 foot tree was about ?19. ?25 for a medium so prices are pretty standard.

[RosieH]

Ah, apologies - was probably a one-off offer in November or summat to get them in the papers

[kham]

Hi Ratty,

sorry that I missed your post this morning cos I was at the stall.

Have you got your tree yet? I wont be getting the potted tree just yet cos they get better closer to Xmas.

I.m very fussy when it comes to buying for my customers,it has to be quality at reasonable price.

I'll put up a notice when they are available.

Alternatively, let me know what size tree you're after and let me do the rest

I bought one this morning from "The Christmas Forest", which is in the car park on the a205 opposite the Harvester. They have a large selection and friendly staff. Most trees are grown in the UK.

?39 for a 6ft one - a norwegian spruce - quite expensive but a really good looking tree - but the smaller ones are much cheaper and they have both cheaper and more expensive varieties and potted ones too.

Sorry Cam, just went with my wife's recommendation in the end.

Good luck.

[daizie]

Why bother, iv'e no desire to look at a tree in my house

[????]

Cut a big branch of your hedge daizie

Sounds painful

[dulwichmum]

?57 for a 6 ft tree at Alleyn Park Garden Centre - how very dare they! We bought our's there, clearly...

[SimonM]

Only 6ft? is that for the nanny's room then?? B)

[dulwichmum]

We bought it for my mother, she lives in Beckenham.

[Santerme]

I am kind of conflicted about a tree this year.

My wife comes back into the UK from Canada on the 18th, but her daughter is going to her father's Lake Tahoe home for Xmas.

My girls are 16 and 19, so I expect fairly fleeting visits this year.

I think it might be time for a Spanish trip from Boxing Day, maybe see the New Year arrive in Madrid or Barcelona.

Ok I am now unconflicted, cheers!

[kham]

Apart from Christmas tree I also stock a large selections of interesting flower and plants. The Forest Hill Supermarket open from 7am to 11pm.

Hand made pine wreath(by me)and arrangements will be available from 10th Dec. Any special order please call me

I'm also very good with last min order

Hi Cam,

I live in East Dulwich and am looking for a tree. How much would a 4ft or a 5ft one cost? And would you deliver it to my house? Would there be a charge for delivery?

Thanks

Jen
