Does any one know if you can or cannot take fake xmas trees to oz? Cheers Michelle.

Hi

We've not shipped yet, but all the info I received states that you can as long as they have nothing natural on them, e.g. pine cones.

Don't think we'll risk it though even though ours in totally fake.

Bye for now

See a lovely Black Christmas Tree Today at Bluewater but didnt buy it as worried that perhaps we wouldn't be able to take it, although I have heard the same thing and its the pine cones etc.. that cant go

We brought our fake Christmas tree with us. It was fine as were all our Christmas decorations inc the outside ones!! Quarentine did open the boxes tho to check for pine cones.

Hope this helps

you can buy fake and real trees here.
Target already have their artificial trees and all the crimbo decs out. The trees actually look really nice, big and full. Not sure about prices tho'.
We always have a real tree, there is a christmas tree farm near us, just not sure how it will last in the heat!!

You can bring over fake trees just make sure you remove the pine cones ,,fake or not.Paul n Lisa who arrived a month ago were charged by customs for the removal of FAKE pine cones from their artificial tree !!!

We brought 3 xmas trees of varies sizes plus xmas decs - we got rid of the stuff with pine cones on, and made sure the lights that had been outside were clean. No problems, although these boxes were examined by quanantine.

If you have one bring it, I always had a real tree so didnt bring one. Have been to Target, Kmart and see a really nice one was $350!! Nearly choked, you can get cheap ones but they all look chatty to me (I love a full looking tree). M said NO WAY we are paying that for a tree and we can buy a crappy one for this year and get one in the sale (little does he know there is NO WAY I am having a crappy tree) lol.

Hiya

We brought our artificial tree with us complete with artificial pine cones, quaranteen have argued that they are real pine cones and have charged us $145 to have the tree fumigated!!Nightmare but as we only got the tree last year I figured it was cheaper to have it fumigated than pay $85 dollars to have it destroyed and then to have to buy a new one all over again. So yes you can bring an artificial tree, just make sure there are no pine cones real or fake!
