Hi
As per title, looking to buy a real Christmas tree, wondering if any suggestions as to where to go? Black thorpe barn is one, but i noticed they supplied 'Number 10' once so assume they will charge extra for that!!
Any ideas?

I appreciate that Woodbridge may be a bit of a "treck" but a friend's shop (Webb Bros of Woodbridge) has a good selection of local trees arriving this week.

Other than that, does the nursery next to Bressingham Steam Museum not do trees? It's been a while since I was up there wink

I'm going to Blackthorpe Barn this weekend so I'll let you know how much they are.

I saw on the TV that the Nordman Fir (ones that don't drop the needles) will be really expensive this year due to the euro exchange rate but the Norway Spruce should be dirt cheap as they are grown over here.

Ended up getting it from 'Finbo's' in Cotton, quite an amazing little place and just round the corner from us, 10ft tree, non drop for 36quid, apparantly they ordered 6ft trees and got larger ones so sold them at 6ft prices, very pleased, trunk straight and foliage pretty full, very pleased!
