Christmas Trees
Nov 24 at 12:19 PM

Looking to buy a 9-12 foot real Christmas tree. We have always had luck at Home Depot but they are sold out this year. Wondering where else in Brandon might have them. Green Spot is way too expensive.

Are they sold out of all trees or just tall ones?

I've seen trees outside Superstore and Canadian Tire but not sure of height. Other than that Alternative, Green Spot and Livingstone most likely to have taller ones but price will reflect it.

(I too am hoping for a tall one)

Xmas tree farms

Why not try a Xmas Tree Farm outside of Brandon?
I'm sure the cost is very comparable to the greenhouses in Brandon

Home Depot Xmas trees
Nov 24 at 11:01 PM

Well.. it looks like one of Brandon’s finest landscaping businesses came in and bought almost all of Home Depot 8-9 ft trees….I was there picking ours out when they did! So I guess you’ll find them on that lot just outside of town at a much higher price!!!

If you would like to come and pick and cut your own tree. We have a lot in different sizes. 35 minutes out of Brandon, halfway between Alexander and Rivers. But dress warm! For smaller trees below 6 feet I will except $25.00.

sold out

Sold out already? Not bringing more in? I always thought real trees were bought closer to Christmas. Do you all have your trees up already?? Haha

Shortage this year
Nov 25 at 10:21 PM

Last couple weeks it’s been on the news that there is a big shortage of real trees this year.
Is odd that they are sold out so early it’s only November. We thought we had time but lost out too.

So we decided we’ll be going artificial this year. Found store in Corral centre Black Friday special on trees picked up a 6 ft, even they are selling out fast.
