NEW YORK — A Christmas tree in New York City was sold for $1,000.
The Christmas tree business also has some less expensive trees, including smaller ones for less than $60. The salesman at the stand said that the four digit price tag was because of years of dry weather.
"You have to consider the weather five years ago, seven years ago, 10 years ago. You hear every summer about the droughts but you don't think about that come Christmas time when you're buying a Christmas tree. These guys have to pay for their water," he said.
Despite the steep price tag, the tree has sold. The stand is in Greenwich Village, and in other less luxurious parts of the city, trees are much more affordable.
