Where do you buy Christmas trees on Oahu, Hawaii (2009)? -

I know this is late but my grandma wants me to see where or if they are still selling Christmas trees.haha. man, these christmas trees are quite expensive. compared to when i lived in oregon. but thank you if you answered.

According to the TV news, this is one of those years when the demand outstripped the supply. This happens every 4 or 5 years. Most places ran out last weekend. (I got mine on Thursday - whew!). Richard Tajiri, the guy at Ala Moana that the other poster mentioned, air shipped in another 700 today, but they sold out quickly.

It s not late. What side of the island are you on? Did you try a hardware store like City Mill?Yes, trees are expensive in Hawaii. When I moved to Oregon a long time ago, the National Forest sectioned off an area where you could go and cut FREE trees. I bet they don t have that any more, though.

The news just finished and It said fresh new Christmas Trees just flew in from the mainland and people was in line from 6am this morning and Its all gone. But who knows there could be more around the island.

At 3pm today trees were being sold in the parking lot of Sears at Ala Moana, for under $100 or something like that.Home Depot sells trees, at least the one in town does.City Mill may still have.

we got ours at kmart....but that was thanksgiving day lol sry
