Boston Christmas Trees

A mere 25 dollars for a five foot tree and it didn’t look bad. I will not be returning here though as the service was awful. They didn’t wrap up the tree and just shoved it into the trunk of our car, and we couldn’t get it out of the car without the tree losing a quarter of its pine needles and branches. We also bought a tree stand at the same time and the guy told us it would fit, but the tree stump was way too large for the stand. Luckily my boyfriend for some reason has a hand saw and we literally had to saw the tree down in our living room to have the tree fit onto the stand. Needless to say, sawdust was everywhere. The tree did look nice in the end, but way too much hassle.

What a great group of people! I got a great tree, was treated with a lot of cheer and all at a great price. They did a good job tying the tree to the car too. Will definitely be getting my tree here next year!

The tree was a little expensive but Kevin have us a deal on the stand to make up for it. Awesome place with really helpful guys! They tied it right on to my car, we didn’t even have to lift a finger!

We’ve been coming here for years. Great trees, reasonable prices and friendly service. Oh, and they help you load the tree on your car too. What more could you ask for?

Boston Christmas Trees were convenient, kind and knowledgeable. We were able to get a beautiful tree with very little hassle. We didn’t have to go through a lot of opening trees up and taking one out and putting it back as the trees that were out on display all looked healthy, in great shape and the prices were very reasonable.
They carried the tree to our car and put it on and tied it down so there were no worries about the tree shifting around or getting damaged on the trip home. We will go back to Boston Christmas Trees again next year!

Convenient lot for us city dwellers nervous about driving an 8′ tree home on the top of our car. The guys could not be nicer about making sure that we liked our tree; they took care to ask how we’d like it trimmed, and hauled it to our car across the street (free parking! small lot — get there early) and tied it down to the roof without us having to lift a finger. In particular, our guy cheerfully waited for us to load our kids in their carseats and turn the heat on before he got to work and was great with our 2 y.o. — gave him the end of the string «so you can hang on to the tree on the way home» — what great service.
$ 75 for a beautiful Fraser fir — I think that’s really reasonable. Cash only, but there is an ATM in the convenience store about a 2 min walk up the street (toward Brighton St). Minimal shedding even with our manhandling it into our house, and now the house smells like Christmas. Can’t be beat, and we will definitely be back.

Picked up my tree here last year. By the time it was in the stand, strung with lights, and decorated, half the needles were on the floor. By Christmas, it was like kiln dried kindling. Went back on Sunday, hoping my experience was a one off, but knowing what to look for this time, I just found a lot of brown needles and dry branches. If you do stop here, be sure to check out your tree from underneath and test the needles. I had a lot better luck with the tree lot in Watertown across from the IHOP. Sappy trees and a wider selection.

The guy didn’t bat an eye when i pointed to my car. Hoisted the tree up, set it down, and found good places to tie it through. As if putting a 7′ xmas tree on top of a smart car was the most normal thing in the world. Made it back to Kenmore with no problems other than a bit of sap on the plexiglas roof. And a lot of people staring.

We have bought our tree here the past 3 years. I highly recommend going for a balsam tree. As other reviewers mentioned prices are reasonable (this yr we paid $ 50 for a 7′ tree) and the service is fantastic. Our toddler was thrilled they gave her a Christmas coloring book this year. CASH ONLY.

This is my first year in the Allston area and this place is awesome! The people working there were so friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful (and knew their knowledge on trees). Trees are great quality. Don’t think you will find a better deal within the City limits. We will definitely be back next year. They only take cash but prices are reasonable we got a beautiful fresh 7.5 footer for only $ 40! This is the place to go!

top notch. these guys are great. this is my yearly spot to pick up a tree. salute!

A+ Group of guys. Friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful. Trees are great quality. Don’t think you will find a better deal within the City limits. Will definitely be back. CASH ONLY though, so go prepared. I got a 6 foot tree WITH stand for about 60 bucks. Not bad at all.

Great, helpful employees made this a wonderful experience. We got a huge tree (8+ ft) for $ 60, not too bad for the middle of the city. It smells amazing and looks fantastic in our living room. We will definitely be back next year!

The reviews here did not lead me wrong. Went the day after Thanksgiving and the service was outstanding. We live in a Brookline apartment so the size options and advice was perfect for our needs. They even had all the supplies we needed in one stop. The value here was excellent. Paid much less than I thought for the quality of the tree. Wonderful Frasier fur. Hard to imagine the process being any easier or more relaxing. No high pressure, just advice and kindness. In Boston that is saying alot!

This is by far the best place to get a Christmas Tree in the Boston area.
I moved here 4 years ago and as long as I live here will always get my tree here. Service is fast and trees are priced fairly. And they load the tree for you. Very easy.
The guys who work there are frickin hilarious too.
Highly recommend it.

No lie, I wish I could do more in thanks than writing a five star review.
I had resigned myself to not having a tree this year [I’ve said this for the last five years and it has proved to be no great personal loss]. I live in the tiniest apartment with three rambunctious cats and I just shorted myself on my monthly T pass by spending too much on holiday gifts. The usual reasons, I guess.
Yesterday my boyfriend [who has NEVER had a treeless Xmas] found out that his bosses have screwed him into staying in town on the 24^th. It’s his first time not being able to go home and it’s obviously getting to him a bit.
So today while he was at work I snuck down to Boston Christmas Trees with the last of my loose change and not enough to my bank account to even cover an ATM fee. I was hoping for, I don’t know, a branch or something. Some chunk that had fallen off of a tree in transit. Barring that, I expected them to have a bit of a chuckle and then direct me towards the exit.
Instead, I was helped by who I can only assume to be the Patron Saint of Good Will. I explained my situation and showed him my handful of spare change and asked if I could buy a broken branch off of him. And then he got a saw and disappeared and came back with the TINIEST MOST ADORABLE XMAS TREE. Not a branch, not a twig, not some needle-​less reject. A real, honest tree. Or… Top of a tree, anyway. It stands maybe a foot tall. It is probably the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen.
I can’t express how much that meant to me. Genuine and whole hearted thanks to the kind gentlemen who work there. A real tiny tree! Xmas is saved! I’ll be back next year for sure. Treelessness just won’t be the same after this year.

Boston Christmas Trees is the best place to get a Christmas tree in Boston, Allston, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, and Brighton.
They have convenient free parking in the lot across the street. They’ll bundle your tree and secure it on or within your car. It’s a great family business with very friendly staff and the prices and variety can’t be beat!
If you don’t have a car, they have a deal with ZipCar that you can read about on their website,
They even have free coloring books for the kids.
It’s cash only but there ATMs all around it.
Definitely getting my tree here again next year.

What the heck christmas tree lot did these other reviewers go to? This is the place across the street from Model Hardware, I’ve gotten my tree there 3 years running because I’m too lazy to drive anywhere further, and always the tree is incredibly dried out. This year I went much earlier, thinking the tree wouldn’t have time to dry out, but I was totally wrong, it was dry. Ugh.
On the upside, the guys selling the dried out trees are nice and helpful!

I was looking for a tall but spidle-​y tree, kinda Victorian style, but didn’t think I’d be able to find one for what I wanted to pay.
I went by Monday night, told the guy what I was looking for, he had exactly what I was looking for, and it was exactly what I wanted to pay for it ($ 15)!
I was quite pleased. I also bought a wreath ($ 10).
Cash only, fyi.

Boston Christmas Trees had a variety of trees. The service was great! They helped us find a tree. Then they put the stand on the tree and tied it to the car! Great Experience. Can’t wait to go back next year!
