    I saw them right in front of Duane Reade on Flatbush. Is it close enough for you?

    i've gotten a pretty sizable tree home in a granny cart, fwiw. the trick is to have them bind it up tightly at the tree stand.

    Got the tree. had to borrow a neighbor's granny cart (good idea). I went to the guy in front of Duane Reade, but noticed that Key Food on Flatbush was setting up their trees this morning.

    More precisely, it's a Yule tree. From pre-Christian Germanic rites, still practised in fact (I've seen it... maybe 'endured' is the right word).

    We're going to be selling christmas (yule) trees until we run out
    in front of our shop (Goods) on Underhill between St. Marks and Prospect
    starting today. We have Douglas and Frasier Firs, as well as a few wreaths.

    Just passed by The Natty Garden (609 Washington)... They're selling trees right on the sidewalk.
