Comments on: Dear PoP – Where Do You Get Reasonably Priced Christmas Trees? http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2008/11/dear-pop-where-do-you-get-reasonably-priced-christmas-trees/ Welcome to the beautiful life Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:02:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Nichole http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2008/11/dear-pop-where-do-you-get-reasonably-priced-christmas-trees/#comment-125291 Nichole Mon, 08 Dec 2008 01:54:19 +0000 http://www.princeofpetworth.com/?p=4808#comment-125291 Just got back from dinner and a stop at the Eastern Market Christmas tree lot. While I did not buy (though, they had a gorgeous 11' foot tree, beautifully straight, round and full that would have looked great in my living room but was $220) they had a 9' tree that the gentleman was offering to give me for $100. Still not as cheap as Home Depot (in VA - past experience has indicated not to even bother with the one off of Rhode Island Ave.), but the quality was probably better. They also had table top sized trees for $20, which seemed reasonable to me. Just got back from dinner and a stop at the Eastern Market Christmas tree lot.

Eastern Market, Fragers and the NY Ave place (which I love) are all more convenient, but the price at Home Depot can't be beat. I will be again crossing the river this week to buy my tree.

They are WAY cheaper than the rip-offs at Garden District and 9th and N St. We went to all three today. 9 foot tree at NY Ave: $90. 9 foot tree at Garden District: $200!!! 9th and N is just as expensive if not more so. Here's a map for NY ave: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=&daddr=38.917475,-76.978884&hl=en&geocode=&mra=mi&mrsp=0&sz=18&sll=38.917518,-76.978814&sspn=0.001941,0.004828&g=Washington,+DC&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=18 New York Avenue has a plant store that sells trees and wreaths now.

I feel like asking a question like that is just done to be preachy. I have to agree the comment that if you want to be eco-friendly, don't by a cut tree. ::sighs:: Really, do we need to discuss eco-friendly and Christmas in the same post?

I don't think of Christmas trees as much different than corn or wheat. Though you're right that disposing of them in a landfill is not optimal. I don't have a fake tree because I'd have nowhere to store it during the non-Christmas season. I put out my tree to be mulched at the end of the season.

I never understood the concept of cutting down a healthy tree, letting it die in your house and then filling a landfill somewhere. If you want to be eco-friendly, don’t buy a cut tree.
