Where to buy (real) Christmas Trees in Limerick?

MiketheMechanic · 26-11-2007 11:14AM #1

Folks,

is there anywhere in the City that has started selling real Xmas trees yet?
Long story, but I need to buy one this week.

I know they used to sell them near the An Post/Docklands Dopot on the Dock Road, beside Raheen Church and near Briarfield opposite Superquinn in Castletroy, but I haven't seen them out yet.

Does Coillte sell them or is there a Christmas Tree Farm anywhere locally?

Thanks,
MtM

Not sure if it is too far out for you but Cratloe woods have a Christmas Tree farm every year

The cratloe tree farm does not open up until the first week or so of December

get mine from Curragh Chase every year (coillte) not sure when they open, probably beginning of Dec. Usually pay about 30-40 euro for them.

Just go out to Cratloe Woods for one. It's only around 15 minutes from the City....

I got one in Cratloe today - 6ft one for €40 and a good selection too, open tomorrow as well. They also have a tree stand for €30, didn't get one but it seems to be able to hold water - might help prevent pine shedding.

Have you checked the guys selling trees on the side of the Ennis Rd. between Ivan's shop and Dunnes Stores?

All trees on St. Johns square were going for €35. I got one approx 7.5ft and it's lovely. The lads there were really helpful in getting it into the car.
