I was in Ikea yesterday and noticed that they have a new plastic mini Christmas tree called Vinterfint.

https://www.ikea.com/ch/en/p/vinterfint-artificial-potted-plant-with-pot-in-outdoor-christmas-tree-green-00552925/

Note the pot is 6cm diameter so don't get confused by the website.

I bought one and took it out of the pot. The tree is 130mm from ground to top.

It will be perfect as a conifer for 28mm gaming, being about 7 metres or 24ft tall.

With a bit of brute force I separated the tree from the pot. There is a circular soil piece which will actually work as a base for the tree.

I used hot melt glue to re-join the tree to the base and bingo - I have a nice conifer tree.

I am very tempted to buy a lot more.

Cheers Mick! Will check that out locally. Glad to hear no Allen key required.

I think that looks very reasonable.

Bit o' sticker shock this side of the world. The '12cm' version is $15.00 AUD. Bizarrely the 6cm version is only $2.00 AUD. Still, it's better than the 12cm version with a few cheap LEDs attached. Ikea thinks that's $35 worth.

The 6 cm one is the right one. If you see it in real life the tree is 13cm tall and the pot is 6cm.

Only the Swedes would give the measurements for the fucking pot.

Thanks for that, I'll pop down to the devil's lair later this week.

Thanks for the heads up.

Uh-oh, Carlos - I think the Swiss are not going to take kindly for being mistaken for Swedes.

Nice find on the tree. A bit large for my 15 mm stuff, though.

Ikea are the Swedes

I was born British but decided to become Swiss after Brexshit.

Indeed and whilst my jibe might be interpreted as Swede bashing, I would like to make it clear that I am not from Norfolk.

Excellent! Thanks for the heads up. Here in Sweden the price is 19 SEK which is only 1,6 euro. Welcome to Sweden where trees are cheap and measurements are weird

Yes but you did give us the Viagra Boys for which we are eternally grateful. Maybe the clue to the measurements is in one of their song titles?

Always on high rotation here.

Brilliant. I just order 20!

I bought a few and may get a few more. I was looking at one of the Vinterflint garlands till I realised it was 3m long.
