I hadn't realized that real trees were hard to come by in the UK. I do have a chainsaw; so, I go to a place in Sydenham village, pay my $20.000 and go cut down a tree ... but I suppose this is absolutely useless info. ... so, whatever kind of tree you get, have a Merry Christmas

Re: real christmas trees - where to get one?
Do you not have any forestry/Estates/Garden centres, that do them ? When we did Forestry they usually had plots that they'd sell off as Christmas trees, same with Lord Derby's Estate Knowsley we'd cut & sell his Pines for him. (And yes he was aware of the fact He'd contracted us.)

As this is "Questions and Answers" I'm going to ask: "How much do real trees cost over there."?

Ask me tomorrow when we get ours. They are not hard to find and we have had them from several places but will go to Brookside Nursery to look first because they deliver them so it saves me sticking the roof bars on my car
