Yeah, they had a ton in the barns. I'm not one to get pleasure out of doing it myself. I even hate the process of buying the pre-cut ones and making a mess in the house.

On a side note, the year before I got my tree from Robert Treat Farm in Milford and it was fantastic. Full, beautiful and kept its needles for over a month until I threw it away (only a couple fell off on the way out the door).

The only downside is they just stock them, you don't cut your own.

How much do the trees in Robert Treat run?

I don't recall. I believe my small-ish tree was like $40? I might go back, and if I do - I'll report back.

Cool thanks...we get our farm share from them and they've been great but also leaning towards the cut-your-own farm...

It was definitely more than Lowes and other big stores, but no more than Jones and I thought it was reasonable for such a high quality tree.
