In short, it says that one tree vendor in New York City is selling 20-foot Fraser firs for $6500. A few blocks away, however, you can get the same tree for “only” $2000.
The reported reason is the shortage of trees this year. Don’t worry though. That price includes delivery and installation...
I understand some of these are being purchased for apartment building lobbies and the like. Even still, that seems insane to me.
