Christmas Tree Prices I checked this morning –

In centre of town in Thurso any size of tree, no stand - £12

In Thurso Tesco carpark 6 foot tree no stand - £20

Big difference! And trees looked much the same quality.

I love a real tree but gave up on them in 2001 after years off fighting with my (then) hubby about putting it up! I bought an artificial one from HIS in Inverness,it cost about £120 I think but well worth it as it still looks good as new and also looks very real!x

I would be happy with an artificial tree but OH always wins with a real tree.
We got our tree from outside tescos in Thurso last year it came with a stand (chunk of log with hole cut out in middleto fit trunk) & it cost £25 with free delivery:eek:

I've always had a real tree but bought one with proper roots, always started with a small one and kept it in a tub, prune the tip to stop it getting straggly, after a few years I plant it out in the garden and start again, that way I enjoy them all year round, unfortunately I have just had to start again as the last one was just too big when we moved up here so my new one is only a foot tall, will last me for years and no damage to the environment from either using plastic or chopping down a tree.

I'm planning a real one in a pot but haven't seen any apart from scabby looking ones in Homebase.

I like a real tree but cannot be bothered with all the hassle of one. It is easier to get the tree out of the loft. The amount of baubles tinsel and lights on it it is difficult to see if its a real tree or not. I must admit I do like the smell of a real tree.

we always use a real christmas tree, but this yr, we will try an artificial tree instead. i think it is very good idea to use an artificial, saves people cutting more trees and keeping us alittle bit extra money
