Why are Christmas trees traditionally conifers?? That's my question!

Blame Queen Victoria. Well, Albert really. Being German, he brought the tradition of bringing an evergreen tree indoors at Xmas. The good Queen of England, being half German and then marrying a German, was only too happy to adopt it. And the great British public, being only too eager to slavishly follow their perceived betters, adopted the custom wholesale.

Any good?

Mine was £189.00. 6ft. Multi coloured L.E.D's. bought bout 6 years ago from Hammonds I think?? Still looks Fresh. Yeehaa

After years of growing them and selling them to crying townies I have to admit

 

I've gone ARTIFICIAL!

If theres anybody up in the merseyside area, my family runs a business of selling chrismat trees, we grow our own fraser firs, ship in a couple thousand nordman firs, some norway spruce, some scots pine. We shift most of them too, the price has rocketed over the last couple of years, a 6ft nordman 5 years ago would have been less than £30 depending on the quality, now they are knocking £40-45. We charge £7.50/ft for those, and for anything over 10ft because of the cost we bought them in at we have to charge £14/ft!

 

the pricing has gone silly over the last few years.

 

if your in the area and looking for a tree i can do you a deal if you say you are from here!

Bonfired our artificial one earlier in the year to make room in the loft got a few hundred norway spruce to pick from up at the farm, if anyone this way is looking up to about 15-18ft at a guess and I wont charge anywhere near the garden centre price
