Christmas Tree Rip Off.

[Pedroski]

Mrs wanted to get a living tree in a pot from Asda...about 4ft tall. They're £15. Today though, all sold out and they're not getting any more in. Went to Wyevale Garden Centre...... potted trees, crap ones, no more than 4ft tall.... £35! And all the cut trees starting at £39.99 for a 4 footer. WTF is going on? There were masses of people in there spending even more for 6 and 7 footers. Flippin' made of money.

 

Anyway, is there anywhere in Sussex, pref within a few miles of Lewes, where I can get a living tree for not too much dosh?

[Will Ayers]

not that near you but i got 2 8 footers for 60 quid, still a rip off but com on! its christmas!!!

Pricess are extortionate atm.

 

£50 for your standard 6-7 foot nordman!

 

For the first time Im thinking of getting a false tree as it is just getting ridiculous!

We went fake this year:)

prices are up. We are selling at approx £15-20 more than 3 years ago.

 

We have a stock of fraser fir growing here, £7/foot, bought in nordmans are at £10 a foot.

 

they are still selling well though.

 

There was a gap in planting a while back, we are catching this gap up now so larger trees are short in stock and thus prices are higher. its getting mad now, lots more people shopping round, then coming back to us because our quality matches the price!
