Christmas tree quandary in CHN

solamami

I haven't seen any tree lots in CH North -- the nearest I've seen is on Flatbush/Pacific, but that's too far for me to hoof it back to Kingston with baby in tow; and until they make a stroller/granny cart hybrid, I'll need a way to lug it home, or pay someone to walk it over to me. Any ideas on where I can get us a Xmas tree? What about Restoration Plaza?

Thanks in advance.

There's a guy that has a store of sorts on the corner of Atlantic and Brooklyn. It's on the SW corner across from the BP. His store is really more of a shop run out of a large shipping container or something like that. He mainly sells artwork. He has some trees for sale.

The fruit and vegetable stand on Kingston and Fulton had a few trees. --E.

Hey guys, thanks. I went to the place on Bklyn & Atlantic (quixotic storefront/storage unit indeed. guy's a lil' pushy, but cool enough), but hey, i managed to lug home a decent, not-too-dry 6' tree for $25. Deck the halls!

Just an update: Those dudes are selling kindling on Atlantic/Brooklyn! My damn tree dried up in less than 5 days, so now I gotta start all over. :roll:

I guess it doesn't matter too much for anyone scrambling for a tree this weekend about freshness... but if you do buy from these guys, don't count on it to last through New Year's! Caveat emptor! And oh yeah, happy holidays!

Don't know about how fresh they are, but I noticed today that they're also selling trees at the discount beer store on Washington between Dean and Bergen.
