Does anyone know of a place in the WDM area where they're selling live Christmas Trees? Wanna go grab one tonight.
Buying Christmas Tree in WDM
- Thread starter TigerCyJM
- Start date
the church (i think its the boy scouts selling them) that is on south side of Ashworth, SW of Valley High school.
8th St & I235 in West Des Moines has 2 Tree Lots that are literally next to each other (there is a orange snow-fence that separates the two. (southern lot is all trees are $45). (north lot might have slightly nicer trees for $60-$75).
22nd St and University Ave (slightly north on 22nd, and West side of road), also has 2 Lots...odd.
Southern Lot (by cool basil) had trees priced $25-$60). I bought a $30 dollar tree here.
It isn't the Most wonderful Christmas tree in the world, but it was alive and looks pretty good.
Northern lot at 22nd and Univ....I didn't stop, as I already had a tree...

Are they cheap & high quality?
I actually just found this thread yesterday but was going to wait until after thanksgiving to bump. I haven't had a real tree since I was a kid, but think we're gonna give it a go this year.
We went to Center Grove for pumpkins this year & enjoyed it so we might go there for a tree too. Their website says a 5/6 ft 'premium quality' tree is $40, or a 6/7 ft '#2 quality' is also $40. Anyone know how big of a difference there is between the two? Or how that compares to the price/quality of a parking lot tree?
Menards has been hit and miss for me. If you live anywhere near a tree farm I would go that route in a heart beat. We did that as kids and it was a pretty big deal to pick out the tree and cut it down. Apparently I'm a crappy parent
To heck with the price, if you've got kids it's worth every penny. One of my greatest memories of my son is every year when he'd yell "tiiiiiiimmmmbbbbbeeeeerrrrr" as the tree we cut down fell. Hayrack ride afterwards to tote it back to the car. Good times.
Now I'm an artificial tree guy.
Got ours yesterday- went to Deals near Jefferson. Growing up my wife and I always had a real tree for the holidays. Since we have been married, 10 years, it’s been a fake tree- our kids are now to an age where it’s fun to go cut a real one. We didn’t find one to cut down that we loved so we picked one they had at the gift shop. Sticker shock for sure when we paid for that bad boy!
