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).

Yes, $80 to $100....you can get them less...but they are small

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?
