How Much Do Real Christmas Trees Cost in Your Area?

Sooner — Fri, 14 Nov 2014 19:28:43 GMT

I know we will be seeing real trees hit the market any time now, and was wondering how much they are costing in different areas of the country. I realize there are different sizes and types of trees, but thought in the coming weeks it would be interesting to compare prices.

I haven't bought one in years because of my allergies. But they are SOOOOOO pretty!

TIA! I know it is early, but if I don't start this now, I will FORGET it!

My daughter always finds a tree near her house for around 30 dollars. And its about 6 foot. She doesn't put her tree up until 2 weeks before Christmas. But I know a lot are up to 100 or more. because friends told me this before. (Personally, we have an artificial prelit tree).

I just would like to know how to keep my cat out of the tree.

She thinks it is her playground.

I have no idea how much real trees cost. I have never bought one.

I did see real wreaths yesterday. They were $20 and $25.

I haven't seen any yet this year, however, last year the starting rate was $100. It was for a small, "Charlie Brown Christmas" tree! Nothing compares to the smell of a fresh cut tree when it's brought into the house! JMHO!!!

oh, tell that to my allergies.

I just about killed myself outside 2 days ago working on cleaning out the gardens. I could not breath, and I was home alone. Then yesterday, I was walking to court in town and the leaves (love the smell) made my breathing horrible.

I was never this way when I was younger!

To plant outside or to use inside as a Christmas tree?

I usually pay $100-110.00 for a seven-eight foot tree, but a tree this size elsewhere would cost more.

in this area you can get a 7.5 footer for 29 bucks for a plantation pine..........but if you want a noble fir, that will cost you about 49.............what affects pricing here is species of tree...................................raven

Don't know. They doesn't seem to be Christmas tree lots here in my area. Most fresh cut trees are at Home Depots and the like. There were some supermarkets that would sell a few out front but that has also dwindled.

As the environmental laws are so restrictive, most folks have artificial trees now. Also, the Los Angeles area and surrounds is hugely populated by immigrants who don't celebrate the holiday with a tree.

there are a lot of tree farms here in Pa

We have a tree farm just up the road from us. Every time we drive by it my husband says..."won't be long now"...even if it is spring,lol. A tree about 7 feet is $60 or $70. We always went to a cut your own tree farm when our son was young but now we have a lovely Martha Stewart 7 foot prelit tree that is easier and still looks really real. I have allergies so don't really miss the real trees too much

I havent bought a real tree in about ten years, but the last one I bought was around 7 ft...and cost $125. After that, I decided to go to artificials. I bought a fake one that cost about $300, lights and all. It lasted nine years. Last year, I bought another fake one for just a bit more than what I paid for the previous one. If a fake one can give me at least 4-5 years of use....I'm happy with that.

Here in my area of PA, that's about right. Maybe a little less.

We resisted the urge to get an artificial tree until just last year. I did miss having a live tree, but liked the convenience of the artificial one. We used to pay around $75.00 for a 7ft tree.
