They got here later than they said, but based on how busy they were when I was there, I had planned for that possibility. They brought the tree in and without us even asking started to mount it in our stand. Sadly the tree trunk was way too big for our old stand but they had stands to sell on the truck and we just bought one of those (probably overpriced but saved us a trip). They set it up and went on their way. Very friendly, good service. The tree has dropped a normal about of needles for a new Douglass, imo. It smells wonderful!</p> <p>Got a smaller tree a couple of days ago at the 9th St spot outside CVS. Just one of those tiny Fraser firs. It's hardly dropped a needle so far. Girl working wasn't particularly pleasant but we got what we needed and I love the tree. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/christmas-trees-1#post-716616 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 16:24:16 +0000 new2hood 716616@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Here's for the Vermonters at the Coop. We got a 10 foot tree yesterday for $115. 9th Street wanted $200, and 8th and 8th was more as well. Tree was cut within the last week. </p>
