The period preceding the New Year holidays is the most beautiful time of the year. It is at this time of year that many buy and decorate a living Christmas tree at home. However, this year for New Yorkers this may be a pretty expensive proposition. The offer on $ 6500, to be precise.
According to the New York Post, one of Manhattan Christmas tree dealers, Soho Tree, is selling the 6 meter Fraser Fir tree for $ 6500.
Who buys such expensive Christmas trees
Although such a high price is shocking, it is even more surprising that Christmas trees of this size are in demand.
Scott Lechner, sales manager for Soho Tree, told a Post correspondent that most of these large trees are bought to decorate penthouses and vestibules.

Despite the fact that these trees are intended for very wealthy people and large corporations, ordinary Christmas trees this year also seem to be a little more expensive, the source said. The reason for this is a slight drop in supply and at the same time a greater increase in demand.
“Supply is still strong, but so is demand,” Sarah Vera, a data analyst at Square, told USA Today. “Therefore, tree prices will likely continue to rise slightly this season as they have in the previous four years, making 2019 the most expensive Christmas tree season on record.”
How the price of Christmas trees grew and the situation today
Between 2015 and 2018, prices for Christmas trees increased by 23%.
In the 2019 year, according to Sarah, even artificial Christmas trees will rise in price - they will cost an average of $ 20 more than in the past.
