Our local township FB page has a thread about this. Seeing $90 to $120 for 'average' sized trees. We are just east of Chestnut Hill.

Not buying one this year but last year an 8 ft frasier fir, purchased directly at the local tree farm, was around $100.

Even more here, but depends on when and where you buy; parking lot of decrepit gas station or fancy nursery with carolers and hot cocoa? We like very big trees and sometimes can only find them at pricier vendors. This year we are putting the tree in the center of our octagonal LR. The chandy is about 9 feet up so might need to be raised. Oh boy.

We paid $250 for a 9ft tree at the state farmers market and $135 for a 7-8 ft tree at a local nursery. Both are Fraser fir. I’m in the Atlanta area. Most trees here come from North Carolina.

Krogers grocery ....5' = $80

We paid $110 for a 9' balsam fir this past weekend at a local gardening center in southern NH. Six footers were closer to $85. Fraser firs were more. Similar prices to 2019 at the same place.

$15 a foot at local firehouse. Go to Costco

Wow. I haven't bought a tree in maybe five years but they were around $5 a foot, chop your own. Noble fir or Douglas fir. I see they are now $11 a foot. Everyone buys their tree the weekend after Thanksgiving now because the farms are sold out by mid- December.

My county in Oregon is in the heart of the Christmas tree industry so there are dozens of tree farms within ten minutes of us. Climate change is affecting the industry too. In June 2021 we had scorching heat of over 100 degrees and it took out a lot of trees.

I am getting sick and tired of industries catering to the privileged with their pricing. Families of modest or moderate means can't afford any type of entertainment or to eat out. Now they can't even afford a Christmas tree. We are becoming an elitist society.

I don't have the space for a large tree, and prefer a 6-7 footer on the thinner side. (Insert joke!) I haven't yet checked prices, but I do know they're going fast around here... I saw many getting live trees over the Thanksgiving weekend, which I don't understand. Mine would be a puddle of needles on the floor by now.

I was a pre-teen in the early 70’s. I didnt grow up fancy but my mom cared about pretty christmas trees. One year we shopped together several locations before ending up at the high-end nursery. I think that tree was $45; we debated whether or not to tell my father. she bred that taste into me. i used to spend $100 for a tree without flinching but I’m trying to be more careful nowadays. hoping i can find an agreeable tree from the BoyScouts this year.

My son just paid $200 for theirs here outside DC. Yikes.

I just picked up a 6 ft Fraser Fir - $70 Cdn (excl taxes) …in Ontario

Lowes in OK has 7-8 ft Fraser Firs for $79.98. Want me to pick one up for you and ride it to your house? :)

Precut 6-8’ Fraser Fir, Scotch Pine or the like is about $50-60 here, more like $70+ if you want to journey to the xmas farm field on horse drawn wagon to find and then murder the prettiest one. I’m a pre-cut tree person, I prefer the murder to happen out of my view.

last year my 9ft tree was $180. It was a Fraser fir from a local garden center.

Got ours today; this is early for us. I was worried they'd sell out, and they are selling out. We got a 12-ft for $250 at a hole in the wall place. But it is lovely, full, symmetrical and very fresh. I wanted bigger (it is going in the center of the octagonal room with the high ceiling and cupola) but couldn't find it anywhere. Maybe we will put it up on a table LOL.

Today I paid $125 for 7' Frasier fir at a local tree stand next to a gas station. The people that own it bring their trees up from NC - they live in an RV on site until shortly before Christmas when they return home. They have been coming for years. Last year I paid $90 for same size tree, but it was a little nicer. I don't normally get mine this early and had only stopped by to see what prices were this year. I had just left Sams Club where Frasier Firs were selling for $44 but they were all bundled up so no idea what you were actually buying. Nope, I need to see before I buy! Anyway, I found one that looked nice enough b/c I didn't feel like going back when they replenish this weekend.

We cut our own at a Christmas tree farm; we have a gazillion tree farms to choose from. I prefer a Noble Fir, untrimmed. I haven't gotten mine yet, but last year a 7ft was about $75, not sure if it's gone up at my preferred grower. Plan on cutting on Sunday. They don't maintain a FB page, so I guess I'll be surprised!

Just found out Costco does not have trees this year, so cancel my previous advice.

DH and I went out this afternoon and got our 8.5 ft. Fraser Fir for $80. Same place we've been going for years, just over the CT line. I think we paid the same amount last year.

8 ft. Fraser……$140.

Fori, I'm almost with you. I'm witnessing a lot of decidedly non-holiday spirit this season. I'm trying not to dwell on it.

I bought a modest 6.5-ft Frasier for $70.

Dedtired, I haven't checked out my local Costco, but they were a go-to for many around here. I wonder why they aren't carrying trees this year.

Fori, I hear you sister. I am having a hard time this year too.

My mom bought a tiny pre-lit tree decades ago when real trees got too hard for them. I could not bring myself to throw it away when I sold their house after they both died. So last weekend I pulled it out of its garbage bag home and plugged it in. It still works. I hung a few ornaments on it and put it on a stand in my front window.

It is half helping and half making me feel worse. 😆😳

I am going to go ahead and get a small tree. I dont know which is worse, not putting one up or putting one up and having maybe three people see it. Either way is a little depressing. I outgrew Christmas a long time ago.

My friend calls it getting on with The Program of Life. I had so many wonderful Christmas celebrations in the past, but now all those people have died or grown up. No little kids around. This is definitely not a pity party on my part but it does seem like a silly exercise. Nevertheless, I will decorate and bake on a scaled down level. Grateful for the good stuff!

Bought mine today. a 7-8 ft frasier Fir for $119. Its a beauty.

I bought mine today too. Kind of an average looking Douglas Fir. Paid $76 with taxes and credit card fee. Maybe between 5 and 6 feet. There were gorgeous Noble Firs that were in the $150 range. Nope, I am too cheap for that.

I almost had to bring it to Longwood with me. They loaded it in my trunk with the back seat flipped down.

I was going to ask my son to unload it since I knew I would cross paths with him today. Well, I missed him by a few minutes and thought I would have to drive around with it in the car until Sunday! I decided to give it the old heave ho myself and managed to get it out and into a bucket of water.

I will say that it smelled wonderful and I would have arrived tomorrow feeling extra Christmasy!
