We drove to a U-Cut place in Jersey (from Brooklyn), so with the cost of getting a Zipcar and such I suppose it's actually a $200 tree. My parents were visiting over Thanksgiving weekend, and my mom loves Christmas (she's had up to 11 trees with various themes in her house at once) so I thought it would be a good way to spend the day. It's arguably overpriced for the size (all their trees under I think 9' are flat rate $50) but for the experience of tromping around an evergreen forest, cutting down our own tree, and spending time with the family it was totally worth it.

I bought this tree from out of state, because I had heard that NY trees were so pricey. It was from a tree place in North Kingstown, RI. I paid $15, for a 2 foot tree with stand.

It was $60 for a 5-6' tree, delivery included. I didn't get mine delivered (I live just down the block) but wondered if I should have haggled for a lower price. Either way this place was cheaper than other LIC tree stands nearby.

We paid $35 for a 6' balsam. Prices for similar trees in the neighborhood ranged from $35-60. We bought the cheapest we could find, which meant we ended up sawing off some small lower branches with a bread knife since the guy at the stand didn't have the equipment to do it, but the tree itself is great.

Yes, I feel great! I was about to buy a $60 tree at a stand, but decided to go to a big box store. Transportation, man power, scarcity goes into the price of a tree.

Our tree was still growing when we bought it and had it cut down. This ensures the tree is totally fresh and lasts weeks longer than a tree cut and delivered. It's the only way to go.

um, I'm from CT and I'm pretty sure I paid as much for my scrawny little tree as my parents are going to pay for an 8-ft Frasier fir. but it's my first tree in the city (after 9 years) so I'm happy.

It has been a while since I have brought a real tree, but it seems as if the price has increased by about $10 if not more.

$6.00 a foot is a very fair price for a u cut your own tree.

The price must include costs for farm maintenance, employee wages, insurance,etc.

Fun and friendly atmosphere. Dogs welcome!

I feel great about the price. We bought our tree from the Boy Scouts Troop # 1 @ St. John The Evangelists 56th & 1st...they are on the corner for 2-3 weekends the most. 2 young men delivered our tree to our 11th floor apartment, trimmed the bottom and set the tree in our stand offering to clean up the slight mess of fallen needles , branches, etc..Tip the lads $20...tree is probably worth $90 + Tim 212-782-7930

I feel like it's fair relative to everything else in NYC. Also a portion goes to my kids' school.
