Loads of these still available, very nice looking trees and a bargain when you factor in the €20 voucher!!

I thought they were only available on Saturday? Can you buy them on other days too?

Got this one on Saturday. I've been watering it through their cool stand and not a needle on the floor yet.

The picture doesn't do it justice actually, is really green, and not silvery looking as in photo.

paddy147 · 05-12-2012 09:04PM

Spruce Tree then.

moonshadow · 05-12-2012 09:17PM

I see at least three needles , and no decorations......

These (spruce) shed their needles very easily and quite fast too,compared to Noble Firs.

You need to water it and mist the tree each day,to try to keep it in good condition,also try not to have the radiator on beside the tree.

Best man to buy a tree off.

The trees in Ikea are tiny..6 foot tall was the max height,when I was there today.

Most of them are around 5.5 feet tall.

Still 30 euro is a good deal.

Picked up a nice 7.5 foot tall Noble Fir from a fruit and veg shop in Santry for 40 euro.

jameshayes · 06-12-2012 09:28PM

just back from IKea myself, yes they are small but I was only looking for a cheap one & they look great, not too many left when I was there, about 20/30 i'd say...

Tree is 30 and you get 20 back in January, the stand is 20 but is a great piece of kit...

pc7 · 06-12-2012 09:35PM

Has anyone seen any 10 foot trees anywhere? Got one in Ikea car park last year not sure if they are there this year or just the ones with vouvher

Barrys Fruit and Veg shop has some nice Noble Fir trees each Christmass and at good prices.

He has a large truck load outside the shop and had a good few 9 and 10 footers in at the weekend.

Brilliant thanks ill head there Saturday

jendafer1 · 09-12-2012 11:24AM

Anyone know if they have any left? Might try head up this morning

EDit · 09-12-2012 11:34AM

Was there around 3pm yesterday and there were plenty left although the place was busy, so stock could be down from then. Also, as mentioned above, they all looked pretty small....max was around 6'

Rashers72 · 09-12-2012 04:14PM

Plenty left around 12 today. Not busy. Not sure of prices. Still selling, but more apartment sized (if you know what I mean)

Sgt Pepper 64 · 09-12-2012 08:50PM

Got ours today, nice and wide, and just over 6ft. A few hundred left, most went yesterday, should be some left tomorrow, but choice is less.
Our one still had snow on it!
They sold out of stands though
Big thanks to the staff who were very helpful and also got a nice cookie and hot chocolate!

Linoge · 09-12-2012 10:20PM

Was there today. Nice trees but no Christmas tree smell at all.

Little A · 16-12-2012 12:29PM

I picked mine up last Saturday (8th) & left it in a bucket of water for the last week as we were only putting it up yesterday.

Came down this morning to see about 10/12 decorations on the ground & noticed most of the branches are looking sad & drooping - I reckon I'll have a bigger collection of decorations every morning from now to Xmas.

Not such a great bargain as I reckon I'll have to buy another in the next week (I have never had to get get a 2nd tree before).

Anyone else having a problem ?
