Where To Buy Christmas Trees In New York City

Come December in the city, and locals’ notoriously small apartments pack huge holiday cheer. Bringing a new meaning to the phrase “urban oasis,” Christmas tree vendors fill the city with the scent of the season—and a veritable forest of firs. Just in time for Santa’s visit, here are the best places to buy Christmas trees in New York City.

NYC Trees

Occupied elves will love NYC Trees, an online service offering tree delivery, installation, accessories, and, once the holiday has passed (the least wonderful time of year!), tree removal. Servicing Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, this New Yorker-owned and operated outlet provides busy locals the gift of time.

Sidewalk tree stands

The best gifts are the ones you don’t expect. During this time of year, you’ll stumble upon hundreds of pop-up sidewalk tree stands, hailing from as far as Quebec, Canada. While many vendors have participated in New York’s Christmas circuit for years, you never know what tree species or exotic imports you’ll encounter on the city’s streets.

SoHo Trees

With seven Manhattan locations (and delivery to some parts of Brooklyn and Queens), SoHo Trees is one of the city’s most popular Christmas tree vendors. Here, you’ll find everything from four- or five-foot-tall Fraser firs to eight-foot-tall Canadian Balsams as well as rare Nordmann firs, wreaths, and even tree-decorating services.

Tyler’s Trees

For the cost-conscious Christmas shopper, Tyler’s Trees provides delivery service with all the trimmings and none of the surprise surcharges. At this decade-old delivery company, packages including a tree that’s four to five feet tall, accessories, delivery, and installation start at just $119. Tip: For those looking to live like Christmas kings or queens, the aptly named Rockefeller Package features a whopping nine-foot tree with all the extras at pauper prices.

Urban Garden Center

Those willing to head way up to Harlem will be rewarded with personalized service and so-nice-they’re-naughty prices at Urban Garden Center. A family-owned nursery in East Harlem, this uptown utopia will satisfy all of your holiday needs, from trees starting at just $30 to weekend wreath-making workshops and beyond.

Greg’s Trees

When you need a tree at 4 am, the 24-hour Greg’s Trees is the only place to go—literally. This Manhattan-, Queens-, and Brooklyn-based vendor is a great bet any time of day, thanks to its packages starting at just $79 in Manhattan and its uncommon offerings, such as luxury Nordmann firs and 12-foot jumbo trees.
