Christmas is just weeks away. And while many of us already have our stockings hung by the chimney with care, a wreath on the front door and lights strung along the porch, others are just getting into the holiday spirit now. If you’re among them, it’s time to get the star of the show: the tree. Several options exist for you to purchase the perfect live spruce, pine or fir for your home.
Here are five places you can buy a Christmas tree in the city:
Little Rob’s Christmas Trees
