Because most Chinese don’t celebrate Christmas, there are not that many places in town where you can buy Christmas trees. I still remember that about 3 years ago my wife and I spent a whole Saturday afternoon trying to find a decent Christmas tree and eventually ended up buying a fake one. But times are changing, and it seems you can now also get them online. A fellow Dutch entrepreneur, Nic Pannekeet, sells them through his company rosagallica.com.
How does it work? Very simple, just send an email to info@rosagallica.com with the size you want, your name, address and phone number, and the company will contact you for delivery. You can also call them at 021-2821 2241 or mobile 158 2171 1221 (Camille). The available sizes and prices:
Available sizes Price ex transport
80 - 150 cm 180 RMB

Cedric, unfortunately I don’t put ads on my blog. I want to be able to be able to blog about everything and not have a conflict of interest with any advertisers.
Hi Marc,
I came across your blog while I searching for a christmas tree on the internet. I found out rosagallica’s website obsolete.
Can I know if there are any other shops I can visit to place an order?
Rgds,
JC
Don’t know any others right now, but if I come across one I’ll put it on my blog over the next weeks.
