oh xmas tree oh xmas tree
probably a weird post but thought this gals service deserved a shout out .
well I have 12 year old and his mum living with me he said last week why we don't have Christmas, me not being a Christmas type fellow said well I don't really believe in Christmas but if you and your mum want Christmas well why not I am a jolly good fellow. So off I trundle to look for Christmas tree well holy mother of god have you seen what they want for a fake tree here ? lucky had the ugliest by far about 2ft tall looked like it had been made by a kindergarten school kid . Well not to be outdone headed to some nursery's in Chrouy Changvar again 2ft tall $60 found a real looking pine in one they wanted $80 Crikey surly I can do better .
Well mum got into her farcebook and found this lovely lady name of Kim An I believe well low and behold yes sir I have nice pine trees
6 ft $25.00 yes I can deliver to Phnom penh $5.00 ok its not a typical Aussie type Xmas pine but with all the trimming and lights will look terrific I think and its a live so can use it next year and the next till its too big to drag inside I guess . The well spoken Kim threw in a nice large ceramic jar and bag of proper dirt which the delivery guy transplanted for me one hour later Xmas tree in my living room .
So if any BM wants a Xmas tree give Kim a call 85287333 ideal for the house or restaurant etc and not a fake tree . Great job Kim

Where do you live in Cambodia? It only survives when planted over a certain altitude. Nut sure how high but in Ratanakiri (+350 meters) it's too hot. In Phnom Penh it will be a single use tree for sure.

I've seen these surviving for a few years potted. There are pine trees growing in Kirirom which is at a much lower elevation than the north east provinces.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: oh xmas tree oh xmas tree
Yeah the cost of the fake ones is a bit eye watering, but I got mine at PBC near Naga 2 about 10 years back & it is still up this year. I reckon it could be the last though as the plastic slots used for the branch holders are now wearing out fast & snapping; bit of a fixer-upper this time around. Pity they didn't make the part that has the most wear & tear out of metal like the rest of the frame of the tree - but then like Apple I guess they have to build in some obsolescence else a tree would last a lifetime.
Popped into PBC again just this weekend to check on Xmas decorations as I found it was the best place usually; again wasn't disappointed, always some good stuff there each year.

Lots of market stalls sell tinsel, they have it hanging up.
Once you've read the dictionary, every other book is just a remix.
