    Hi . Wondering if any place around the city is selling real Xmas trees this week . Was planning to head out to bird hill as there is a Xmas tree farm out there but would prefer not to travel too far . Usually have seen people selling on done deal or Facebook but seeing nothing so far . Was hoping to pick up one before the toy show on Friday. Thanks.

    Aside from the drive out and in reality it isn't a big deal, the Xmas Tree farm near Birdhill is the best option for real trees near Limerick.

    Any idea if they use netting to help with the transport of the xmas trees? or would I need to bring a trailer or roof rack?

    I'd be inclined to go to a tree farm and cut the tree fresh. It will be doin well to see Christmas morning if you're putting it up now.

    You could stand it in a bucket of sand and keep the sand moist. If you're doing this, make a fresh cut on the bottom of the tree before standing it

    I ended up picking up a tree today in birdhill. They did net it . Got a six foot one for 35 euro . Didn't think I would get it into car with my son in car too but had no problem . They said by Thursday Friday they will be fully stocked. They didn't have loads out there today . But still a decent selection.

    Always used the bird hill tree farm and trees have lasted the season every year. Did use the go van rental last few years though dead handy and no tree bits in the car 😄
