    Hi All,

    Just a heads up to ye, I was walking in Cratloe Woods on Thursday and saw a sign saying no Christmas trees for sale there this year :( Big pity it is too, but I was wondering does anyone know of anywhere else around Shannon or Sixmilebridge I can get a decent tree?? Didn't see any for sale outside Crowes when I drove by earlier.

    so disappointed, used to enjoy going to Cratloe every year, having a nice walk and then picking out the perfect tree ! Tim Crowes had trees yesterday in both SMB and Ministers cross, but not much of a selection. The nearest Coillte depot that i can find is Curragh Chase but thats a bit of a trek. I think Woodies have them as well as Ivans. Anyone know of anywhere in Ennis with a good selection of unwrapped trees that they will wrap for you ?

    Anybody know why they're not there this year? Seems unusual, this is the first year I remember them not being there.
    I hope it's just a once off, it's a Christmas tradition in our house to get the tree there!

    It's only the 6th so maybe the trees aren't out yet.They would probably be in no fit state by Christmas.

    Well if there's a sign up there's a sign up, pity alright the trees were good. Must be to do with cut backs in funding for collite. anyone know if they sell them in or around ballyhoura?

    Seen that there are Christmas trees for sale in the Garden Centre in Smithstown near the Recycling Area.
