how much for Christmas trees?

I think I might have found something that actually is more expensive in the US. I saw 9ft to 12ft Real Trees for between $100 and $133 about 75-100 Euros.

Of course they have to ship them in from Wisconsin, but still...what a rip-off eh! :)

Curious to know what they're selling for in Ireland.

Anyone know how much are real trees selling for?
Or is anyone buying them anymore?

I don't think they're selling them in Smithfield this year - most of the space is taken up with the ice rink and the (fake!) Xmas tree from [broken link removed].
 
I paid €20 this year for my beautiful 8ft Christmas tree. I buy my tree every year from Lindisfarne, christmas tree farm, Golden Rd, Cashel, I pick the tree i want, it's cut down there and then and stays fresh throughout the Christmas/ New Year. :D
 
€40 for an 8 foot tree one cuts down oneself in Coillte's farm in Glenealy in Wicklow
 
35 for a 8 foot tree from the two funny guys selling trees outside Tescoes at Clearwater. (The comedy and entertainment came free!)
 
We paid €25 for a 7ft tree, told them where to get of trying to sell us a stand for a further €10!
 
€20 in Cabinteely for a 6ft tree. We originally went to buy one in Leopardstown race course and they wanted €50 for a 7ft one - not only that they were selling tree stands for €40 which i had seen the week before in Woodies for only €19.99.
 
Sorry the only comparison I can offer is US, but I found the most expensive fake tree I've ever seen this evening.

$600.

It looked stunning. Looked real actually, I had to look close. On close inspection you discover the lights are build into the branches.

It did look great, and if you're spending $100 a year for real trees to be trucked in from Wisconsin then it pays for itself in 6 years. BUT...the store had a lot of cheaper fake trees that I'd have gone for first.

thank God those black trees of last year seem to have disappeared. ugly and horrible. Who came up with that idea? saw only one this year in b&q in newry. probably a lost stray from last year.
 
~35-40Eur in Cork
(Irish Guide Dogs sell them in their car park - excellent trees too)
