What you'll pay for a Christmas tree depends on the tree's size, type, condition and where you buy it. Scotch pines are least expensive, then spruces.
Firs have the highest price tags.
Prices for Christmas trees are expected to be about the same as in the last two years. Even though they're pricey, firs are appealing because they're the best at keeping their needles. Fraser firs are tops in this department. Other choices are balsam, concolor and white firs. Canaan firs, a relative newcomer to the Michigan market, are related to Frasers but they're not as blue.
