£10 Real 6 feet high Christmas Trees

I received a mailer in the post today for JTF (my nearest store is Lincoln but they have some others) and they are selling 6 feet high real Nordmann Fir Chistmas trees for only £10! I have seen B&Q selling 5 foot trees for £15 and I know Ikea have the £25 trees with £20 voucher but £10 is a bargain!

Has anyone seen a better deal, or is this the cheapest around? Don't normally buy a tree until 2nd week of December to make sure it lasts but may have to get one this weekend at this price, I think I paid about £30 last year!

    I am guessing that if you buy it this weekend you will have a stick left by Christmas or at least a very very sparse tree.

    Amazing price though !

    Is it cut or potted with the roots intact? If potted I would be tempted to buy and re-plant in the garden.

  • They have 6 feet cut Christmas trees and also 4 feet potted trees with roots, both are £9.99

    Could stock up on potted trees and grow them in the garden for the next few years!

    If firs are watered they last well. I always got mine on 1st Dec and didnt have a problem.
  • rooted trees very rarely last once replanted, they tend to be cut with a very small root ball and that combined with the shock of being up-rooted and then a spell indoors before being put out into the garden is all too much for them.

    At a tenner I would say it is worth a punt but a bit of internet research may help your tree survive a little longer
