Where did you get your Christmas tree?:

Amongst a stand of other Douglas Firs.

Location of stand/store.:

Barlow road Mt. Hood Oregon

How big is your tree?:

7 Feet

How much did you pay for your tree?:

$20-30

What else do we need to know?:

I put tire chains on my old truck and drove through a foot of snow into the forest to find the perfect tree. The cost was our time and fuel for the truck. I cut the tree with a hand saw and we got a second hand tree stand from the Good Karma thrift store in Hood River. A christmas tree for less than $20? If you live in Florida, go get a palm tree.

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.
