- Suzanne Shields: I usually go to the Shrine (Catholic School) parents lot.
- Caitlin Gilman: Home Depot or Costco. They have the best trees for the best price. (Find a Home Depot in neighboring Troy and a Costco in Bloomfield Township.)
- Toby Allen Lezring: Get the whole experience and go to Blake's Cider Mill (in Armada, MI) and take a tractor ride out to cut one down. Fresh cut ones last longer.
- Kersten Emsley VanNess: The tree lot by Red Coat Tavern (in Royal Oak). They will even deliver!
- Cristina Pappas: Home Depot. $15.
- Jennifer Black-Sazgari: We love the trees from the HoHoHo Company on Woodward (near the Redcoat Tavern).
- Theresa Grisham Costello: The Plant Station in Birmingham. Local and they are all Michigan trees and they deliver also. From what I understand, (the trees from) HoHoHo are from North Carolina. Shop local!
- Nancy Wetterholt Lange: The HoHoHo Co.
- Catheryn Gelder Brooks: Plant Station — they are all beautiful and fresh!
- Martina Panian: What about at the Winter Markt? The guy there has lovely, great-smelling trees and wreaths, but I think the best pick is early Friday. I'm not sure he replenishes through the weekend. (Read more at Need to Know: Winter Markt Opens Friday in Shain Park)
- Ann Pitser: Woodward Gardens on Woodward! Owned by Birmingham residents.
- SofterSilk, LTD: Whoa, forget big box stores! Shop local and keep it in Birmingham. The boy scouts set up a beautiful tree lot every year at the church on Maple at Chesterfield (at the First United Methodist Church of Birmingham).
