Was looking at a nice tree ...about 7 1/2 feet tall...already cut...at the local feed store

On the edge of the big city limits...

Looked at the price tag...169.99

I said ...yah ....Go (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) your hand...

What's trees going around your way ????

About $50 average to cyo, and precut is like $10-$15/foot at a farm. Mostly fraser and balsam firs... I'm sure retail stores are more $

Don't you own an axe or a saw? Our Christmas trees are cheap out on the public ground.

Can't beat the consistency of an artificial tree. No mess, no fuss. Of course we haven't put ours up for years but we've got it along some beautiful decorations. We don't have kids and to me Christmas is for kids more than anything else. When we first got together 30 years ago my wife wanted a real tree. What a friggin mess, never again and we've had an artificial since.

Over $100, we decided to use artificial a couple years ago because of the prices

There was an old guy on his late eighties, within half a mile of me, who sold beautiful, potted blue spruces for $45.00 each that were around 5' tall and potted Scotch and Norway pines for $35.00, that were a little over 6'. I thought about buying a bunch to resell one year. He disappeared. He probably died or was moved to a nursing home.

Tonight we went to get a tree in town where we get one every year.When the man said "$100 bucks" I almost fell over.The wife stood there staring at him with her mouth open,I think she thought he was joking.

Not sure exactly .....they used to be cheap ......like 15 bucks before all the californians moved in years ago

Cali's will pay 100 + all day long

Oregon is the number producer in the usa but most of those are shipped outta state

We get a 5 dollar permit from the Forrest Circus
