Hi!

Are you still supplying pine trees to S&R this year? If so, when is the expected arrival in Manila? I already checked with S&R and they cannot give a firm date on this. I just would like to know if it will be available by October or November.

Also, how long does a tree normally last? will it last until January?

Would like to get a live tree this year. Me and my wife spent our first Christmas as a married couple with a live tree in Malaysia last year. We bought it in Ikea. It was very cheap. The stand is more expensive than the tree.

It was a lovely 6ft tree. Short but very stout. Very nice smell. I remember that whenever we come home from work, the tree’s scent filled our room.

Can we get a shorter tree here to fit our crampy condo? 5-6 ft should be ok.

i am also a christmas freak , but to me the only specie of cut evergreen that can endure all the tropical weather like manila would still be the noble pine tree.
well simply because it has a better shape , long lasting freshness as to compared to the douglas fir , well over load it with lights and it will just invite a fire hazard to happen very soon ast it will dry up the needles of the tree .
to maintain a fresh cut evergreen really needs a good metal christmas tree stand that yoi willl fill with a christmas tree preservative to keep it green anf fragrant so that yoi will enjoy it longer. and also just like the local counterparts the ones grown in tagaytay and sold in mckinley in december will not hold as the vendors would promise , simply because they are sold and displayed under the sun and are not kept in the shade di ba , so how willl it ever be possible to enjou it till after the holidays?

I got one two years ago at Cost U Less, but I claimed my order as late as possible so the tree could spend the maximum time in their low-temperature storage. I think I got mine in late November and it happily stayed fresh till past the holidays.
