Christmas tree prices can vary significantly from block to block. Help us get a sense of the discrepancy - and whether you felt you paid a fair price.
Stand
East 66 and 3rd
9 Feet
More than $140
No it was actually 200.00 and I talked them down. 1
90.00 is a fair price
stand
Lenox Ave and W 117th St, NY, NY
7 Feet
$50-60
I think you always think that you could have gotten it cheaper but my partner was able to talk them down. This was for a Balsam tree not the more expensive Douglas Fir.
We also learned that the guys at the stand we bought it at got held up at gun point the weekend before at 3am. So maybe in the grand scheme of things we got a really good deal.
Stand
Dyckman Street, 10040
2 Feet
$30-40
I felt like, given the fact we are in Manhattan, it was pretty fair. It came with a stand as well.
Kings county nursery
625 New York ave
4 Feet
$20-30
I think the price was relatively fair, but I remember a slightly larger tree from the same place being $25 last year, which might have been because it was closer to Christmas. What goes into the price? Labor, transportation, proximity to Christmas, audience, size, quality, and type of tree, vendor.
Maple Row Tree Farm in CT
555 North Park Rd., Easton, CT
7 Feet
$60-70
cut our own tree from the farm. fun hay ride, good apple cider, etc. but you have to spend $ for zip car, unless you have an SUV. Not particularly affordable, but we paid for some fun.
Stand
McGuiness Blvd. and Greenpoint Ave., Brooklyn, NY
7 Feet
$70-80
Home Depot
Bronx Terminal
8 Feet
$30-40
Great price ! beautiful Frasier Fir.
A lot of Sap and healthy...
FYI: don't hang around waiting to get it cut and tied up, just buy tree bags in store, wrap, pay and go.
Stand
339 9th st brooklyn, ny
5 Feet
$80-90
Too expensive :(
Stand
13th street and 1st Ave New York, NY
6 Feet
$30-40
$30 for any tree (excluding Balsam pines) Really great deal
Stand
47th Road and Center Blvd, Long Island city, ny
6 Feet
$70-80
I think I paid a little too much for our tree, but it is right across the street from our building so it was convenient.
Church
555 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry, NY
6 Feet
$30-40
I think we got a good deal. We went to a farm to cut our own which is about $65 for a 5-6foot tree, but they were all out! We went to another farm and they were $80 which was too expensive.
Stand
45th St/4th Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, NY
5 Feet
$30-40
We first went to the stand outside the CVS on 9th St between 5th and 6th in Park Slope. A five foot tree was $80. We drove down 35 blocks to Sunset Park and got a slightly bigger tree for 1/2 the price. They even gave us a bag to take the tree to the street in once the season is over. A christmas miracle! (Or maybe just hyperlocal economics)
Preschool fundraiser
Carroll & 7th ave brooklyn
4 Feet
$40-50
Pricey but for a good cause.
stand
7th Ave & Christopher St, NY, NY 10014
8 Feet
$80-90
We paid $85 for an almost 8' fir tree. I think that is TOO MUCH. The seller came down from $90 without much discussion, she was a very sweet Canadian and wants us back next year. We usually buy our trees in NJ for about $60, but given the tolls now and the hassle of driving in NYC, we felt it was a wash financially and a lot easier walking to the urban forest on the corner. Merry Christmas!
Wightman's Farms
1111 Mt Kemble Ave, Morristown, NJ 07960
5 Feet
$30-40
It's a $36 Douglas Fir, which was cheaper than the other soft-needled (but longer lasting) trees, which were more like $46-$52. I buy there every year and they seem to survive my forgetfulness in watering them every day.
For NJ, the price is fair, I could probably get closer to $28 at Home Depot, but I've not had good luck with trees there.
WNYC needs to know that if Manhattanites are paying $120 for trees, I'm going to start a tree delivery service. :)
Florist
Fort Hamilton Parkway
6 Feet
$50-60
Nope.
Probably 40 Buks
Stand
Clinton ave and Fulton ave Brooklyn
7 Feet
$60-70
$20 for the stand, free delivery.
St. Anthony's High School
275 Wolf Hill Road, South Huntington
8 Feet
$40-50
These trees are always SO fresh and come with free good karma as the proceeds are used by the Franciscan Brothers for the benefit of the poor!
