What happened in 2014 that made it start to rise so rapidly?
We tried to buy a tree from one of those street vendors in NYC around the beginning of December and they quoted us $170 for a 7ft tree, or $100 for a 5ft tree. They finally offered us a little 3.5-4ish foot tree for $75 when we told them (for the third time) that that was as high as we could go.Â
Absolutely insane prices. We ended up getting a gorgeous 7ft tree for $69 at Whole Foods :/
It annoys me how much they charge for Christmas trees in the Portland area. We grow the trees and don’t have to transport them far, so you would expect them to be cheap here.
What the heck? I payed 12€ in germany for a 160cm tree.
