Sure, Christmas trees come stylish. And if you’re a fan of height, you may want to buy the 10 foot artificial Christmas tree for your home this holiday.

But before choosing, check out the prices and be sure of whether you want it real or artificial.

What’s the cost of real trees on the market?

 According to the National Christmas Tree Association, the price of real trees increased 17 percent from 2015 to 2017 as green-minded shoppers looked for local trees.

What’s the cost of artificial Christmas trees?

The price of a Christmas tree depends on its quality, its height, and other features (like pre-lighting).  An artificial tree cost on average $104 in 2018.

Currently, the price of prelit LED trees at Home Depot ranges from $159 to $295, depending on features. The availability of artificial Christmas trees at any time is one of their biggest advantages.

Peak sales typically occur in December or after the holidays.

ACTA estimates that buying and replacing an artificial tree each year costs three times as much as maintaining a real tree.

An artificial tree is a better option if you’re worried about the cost.
