Where did you get your Christmas tree?:

stand

Location of stand/store.:

53rd and 11th, New York, NY

How big is your tree?:

5 Feet

How much did you pay for your tree?:

$100-110

What else do we need to know?:

The price seems high. The price is higher in New York City I imagine due to transportation costs. I know our tree in particular came from Oregon. For comparison, my parents, who live in the central part of PA, got an 8' tree fresh cut that morning for $40. The markup seems a little ridiculous.

Christmas tree prices can vary significantly from block to block. Help us get a sense of the discrepancy - and whether you feel you got a fair price.
