Title: Christmas Trees
Post by: Old Daffodil on December 10, 2009, 10:16:05 AM: Just met someone who paid 500 lira for a 6foot high Christmas tree (does have a live root though). It is a lovely tree. I know that they are expensive but am surprised that trees cost quite that amount.

Anyone who pays that must have more money than sense :o

Julide, the owner has a contact and you can pick from about five pages of trees. There is also a varied selection of colours even orange if that floats your boat!!!

It was ordered one day and would have been here the next if it wasn't for Bayram!

Anyway, we're really pleased with our tree!
