When do you lot tend to buy your Christmas trees?

We bought a supposedly 'non-drop' one from outside EDT last year around 10th December and it was practically a skeleton by Christmas day.

Never had a problem with needle drop since buying a tree stand with a water reservoir, amazing how much water they will absorb...

Florist / mini garden centre near Barcellona is very good - best to buy from local traders hoe are there fr us all the year round and need our support. They have an excellent range of good quality plants at appropriate times of year at fair prices.

There are guys in the Plough pub car park selling tree for St christopers hospice. I would be interested to know what proportion goes to Charity.

Saw them for sale today outside the empty garden centre by ED station and at Dulwich Hamlet. Not sure who's selling them or quality of trees though.

Grrr.

I see that Ikea have now amended their website to say that "Real Christmas trees are not available for sale at IKEA Bristol and Croydon."

There was a query about this last year when they were selling trees outside the Crown and Greyhound in Dulwich Village.

There was definitely a degree of misrepresentation as to exactly what was going to the charity. Hopefully it will be clearer this year.

Does anyone know anywhere that will deliver? I was going to try outside the Rose in Forest Hill or outside the EDT but don't have a car..

Cora, you are a star! Was gutted not to be able to get our tree delivered by Plantnation as it's become a bit of a tradition for us, thank you!

I bought mine at the florist opposite Dulwich Library. It is a thing of beauty. And they also do free local delivery.
