Affordable Christmas tree?

Submitted by nelsmans t3_zisu7b in jerseycity

Does anyone have a recommendation for a place to get a mid-sized (real) Christmas tree in Jersey City? All the trees I’ve been seeing on the street in Manhattan and Brooklyn are insanely expensive.

I saw them near golden cicada in Kevin’s lot. Not sure if the prices though.

PORTA. 2 Pizzas, a pitcher of beer or wine, and a 4-6Ft tree for $65! Going tonight for dinner and bringing a tree home with me.

Preferred price? Home Depot sells them from as little as $50 all the way to $120

Kanibal and Co. has small trees with stands for $40. But they might be smaller than what you’re looking for. They’re about 2-2.5 feet tall

Kevin’s lot is expensive as hell. Go to Home Depot there are a bunch of trees on their rooftop!

Their selling trees by the DQ on west side avenue, affordably priced and they might deliver

Depends on what you think affordable is, but I found the trees at 14th st garden center to be affordable (under $89 for a 6 foot tree, much less for smaller ones) and good quality! This is equal to what I paid for live trees in the past back home in North Carolina.

bouquets and baskets (next to Grove St PATH, 1st and Jersey) delivered an 8.5 foot tree, hand-selected, to me in the heights for about $140, and the tree is SOOOO much better than the dry tree we got at St Nicholas last year (which was about $100 without delivery).

I don't need help with anything, I buy my trees from the smaller lots around JC/ Hoboken.

I speak from my own experiences with purchasing trees at Home Depot, which is hilarious that people are so passionate about ones opinion.

So story time:

I went to home depot in 2019, the weather was shit. I don't expect any employee to stand out their in the rain waiting for some one to buy a tree.

I go to customer service, I ask if I can have assistance in purchasing a tree. They politely said sure and said someone will be up there.

I go upstairs, wait about 10-15 minutes, not an obnoxious amount of time, but the weather was shit. I head downstairs after 20 mins and went to Customer Service again. They proceeded to tell me I can go grab the tree, wrap and rig it to my car.

Annoyed, I went upstairs, grabbed a saw and my gloves from the trunk , picked a "Mid at best" tree and proceeded to trim the bottom, wrap and rig it to my car.

Their trees are not exceptional in anyway and are priced fairly for what you are getting.

Should this singular experience sour my mood on buying trees from Home Depot, probably not. However, those smaller lots have some of the most bubbliest people.

Can confirm. We went last week for lunch and ended up coming home with a 5.5’ tree. This alone would have been $50-60 so the 2 pizzas and beer/wine are the cherry on top!

smallest tree is $80. The person said that they didnt get small trees this year. I remember buying from them $50 last year. Looks like they still have a lot of trees
