I was wondering this as buying real ones yearly get sometimes pretty pricey

    Interesting. My state does offer this. Closest is still about an hour out; not much further than I go now.

    Made a note to look into this next holiday season. Thanks!

      Awesome, you got it!

      I’ve also added the state programs information to my original comment, so I’m glad you brought it up.

      I was kind of blown away when i first found about this and got into a long talk with a ranger who explained it all to me, so I certainly understand your skepticism.

      Up until that point, I literally knew nobody who cut down their own Christmas trees, and now a few of my friends also get their own trees every year.

      6 foot trees have fairly thin trunks, so all you need is any trail saw, I’ve even used a hatchet, and you’ll harvest the tree in a manner of minutes.
