The forestry department in Girne sells Chrismas trees every year but they are not the traditional trees you can buy in the UK. They are generally poor straggly things but occasionally you can find a nice one - and they are real!.

The forestry department is up a little lane opposite the garden shop adjacent to Girne hospital.

I doubt it. Remember this is basically a Muslim country so there is no real tradition of Christmas. Also, any UK type trees would have to be imported because they wouldn't grow here in such temperatures. There is so much associated difficulty with any imports that I doubt anyone would think it worthwhile.
