Where to buy a Christmas Tree in Zurich?

My family and I will celebrate Christmas early this year, in order for us to all be together, so I'd like to get into the Christmas spirit already and decorate my home and get a Christmas Tree -- however I cannot find one large enough anywhere!

I have tried the Migros at Kreuzplatz (but they are too small), as well as www.stadt-zuerich.ch/frischbaum (but they don't have any till mid Dec) and www.angermann-baum.ch.

I don't have a car, so ideally I need to find a tree-seller someone in Zurich city, close to tram connections, or not too far a walk from Seefeld.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be wonderful!

Many thanks!!! and Merry Christmas!!!

Re: Where to buy a Christmas Tree in Zurich?

These days I pick up one in the Landi. Scroll down a bit and put your postcode into the field under the map to find the address of your nearest one.


Tomorrow: Complaints Corner: Yesterday there was this lady in a tram in Zürich with an enormous Christmas Tree blocking the doorway. No consideration at all.... standing where the prams should be, hitting my child over the head with the branches, dripping snow into my boots...

Re: Where to buy Christmas Trees

How about this guy offering to deliver Christmas trees to people at reasonable prices - and speaks English:

http://www.englishforum.ch/commercia...-delivery.html

How do people put in those one word links?

Re: Where to buy Christmas Trees

I tried Googling 'Weihnachtsbaum selber schneiden' and came up with this place in Ast, Berg in the triangle between Weinfelden, Kreuzlingen and Romanshorn in north eastern Switzerland. It might be worth trying Googling the same words again slightly nearer Christmas to see what comes up.

1. No, you are not allowed to cut your own. You will be fined if caught (so do it in the dark)
2. All the major department stores will be selling Christmas trees soon. Most people put up their trees a few days or on Dec. 24, which is why you won't see many trees for sell yet.

Re: Buying Christmas trees in Schwyz...

Such a shame! We fly on the 24th and I wanted to have a tree for a few weeks before we leave. There is nothing like that wonderful pine smell!

Buying a tree before the 24th will be no problem. We get ours one week before the 24th.

Re: Buying Christmas trees in Schwyz...

I buy that Pine Oil stuff one burns in the ceramic thingy someone passed on as a present in some past gift giving tradition.
Just be careful when you fill the thingy - when you light the candle below, the spilled oil also ignites causing an unpleasant sensation for the remainder of the evening.
Also, cost and relatively environmentally friendly.

Re: Christmas Tree Farm in Männedorf

I think there could be a very small one opposite the Widenbad restaurant. I'm not 100% sure, but think I recall seeing one there.

Re: Where to buy Christmas Trees

The plug on my LED tree died this week and now I need to find another LED tree. I was going to try Zugerland on monday but wondered if there are any places online that I could get one.
