Fake trees are not Christmas trees. That's like saying that fake fur is the same as real fur.
Fake trees are not a part of this conversation.

I cut mine on either our land or USFS. Years past I would once and a while poach one; glad to have that off my conscience.

My wife and I have been married for just short of 50 years. The only major fights we ever had were over picking out Christmas trees. About 40 years ago we went artificial and have had wedded bliss ever since.

Christmas tree arguments are part of the human experience; essential.

We own a Christmas tree farm, if you are buying a real tree you already know its about more than the tree. You don't create lifetime memories by going to Walmart to pick out the artificial tree you will be using for the next 10 years, or at least until the Chinese lights burn out and you have to buy another so you can throw that other one in the landfill. Prices vary by variety and size of the tree. We also are an American family working for a living, so yea I don't feel bad when I put a price tag on a tree I just spent 6-8 years growing.

you can cut Christmas trees in the Yukon
on vacant public land outside of municipal boundaries .No permit is needed for personal use, but you must not cut trees on private land, First Nation Settlement Land, or in power line corridors or urban parks.ours are free if we want

If people are willing to pay it, then by all means, go for it! I've had a real tree all my life and always will... that said, commercial real trees are about at the limit of what I will pay for one. I won't pay $90 for a six foot tree. I will pay $60, which I will likely be able to get one for this year. Any further than that, and scraggly pines or cedars around here will become my trees. There will be a point where people just won't pay it anymore. I sold an artificial tree yesterday to 40's-something couple who said they'd always had a real tree but just couldn't afford it anymore... and they sure didn't look like lower class folks. But of course, it's all about supply and demand. You obviously have the demand if you can sell trees for your price. Once you don't, you'll either have to lower your prices or go out of business. As long as you have the market, take advantage of it!

Happy Christmas y’all. Doesn’t matter if your tree is real or fake! It’s about the birth of our Savior!


And the Bible doesn’t say anything about bringing a tree into your house!


Hope y’all have a merry Christmas.

It absolutely matters, lol. Enjoy your fake tree.

lol

Just what every woman wants. A string of faux pearls or a faux diamond under their faux tree, lol !

Exactly, lol. Give me a REAL tanned weasel or REAL single freshwater pearl ring.... under a REAL tree lol.... and it'd probably be cheaper too lol

Cut my own 8’ for $70

always cut our own out of the woods, but this year Kim wanted a fake tree almost 4 hundred from Menard's

When I had my property I'd cut a free one, but that's all it was worth, lol
Hard to find a GOOD wild tree....Friend of mine would cut 2 and tie them together good sides out.
I've cut red cedars when the kids were young, the price was right....
Nowadays I do like my grandma did, snap off a branch from the spruce tree in the yard, stick it in a flower pot, tie a red ribbon on it and done....!!!

You think trees are bad, have you priced a Festivus aluminum pool lately?

Ol dad

I think you meant to say.. in the lake for a crappie hide!

We pay $250+ for a 6' balled and burlapped tree, the grow time and land constraints are similar. You deserve to be well compensated for your trees, especially if you offer the full experience.
