Normally we go and cut down a tree each year, but we are really up against this year and will not be able to. There are so many tree lots around town, can anyone recommend one that offer good prices and good trees that you keep returning to? We will be in Cordova or Collierville, or we might be out in East Memphis also. Thanks!!!

We generally have our best luck from Home Depot believe it or not. The last few years they've had great prices and the selection was real nice.

We buy 3 trees each time. One for my house, one for my parent's, and one for my brother's house. We get 3 different kinds (type/size) and all three leave pleased.

we've tried several different options over the years, and we wind up going back to home depot each time. it's not exactly "christmas-y" to do that, but...

Germantown Hardware has some:

Fraser Firs
5-6' $30
6-7' $40
7-8' $50
8-9' $65
9-10' $90

Lowe's has 6'-7' ones for $20. They look good too.

i've seen some wonderful looking ones out in cville across from the walmart.

i've never had a real tree, i didn't know they were so cheap!!!

I know some people prefer fake trees or use them out of necessity, but nothing but a real one for me! Well worth cleaning up the thousands of needles on the ground when taking it down!

Al's Golfhaven used to set up a huge lot every Christmas. That was a cool place.

if you buy a nice fake one, it will take you about 7 years for it to pay for itself...i never had a real one until i got married, and my husband pushed for it. I've gotta say, i don't know that i'll go back to fake now!

Home Depot for us also. Been doing that for about the last 5 years since I got tired of paying the huge markup at the charity lots. Having a fake one is starting to intrigue me though since I am still vacuuming needless from xmas past. lol

oh, wow...next time i'll pay more attention to my replies!

I always get mine from Big Jim's in the parking lot of Schnuks accross from Home Depot and the Clark Tower (cant remember the name of the street.) They have some great trees and have never had one die on me.
