<p>I am sure many of you have heard of this company: [url=<a href=“http://www.livingchristmas.com/]Living”>http://www.livingchristmas.com/]Living</a> Christmas Company<a href=“from%20Shark%20Tank%20or%20the%20New%20York%20Times%20maybe”>/url</a>. They basically rent out a live (not cut) Christmas tree in a pot for Christmas.</p>

<p>I would really like to rent a tree like that, but they are in CA, and I am in NYC. Does anyone know of any companies in NYC or the surrounding states that offer this service?</p>

<p>You should check any of the garden stores in the city to see if they carry pine trees in a pot. I don’t know that you will find a place to rent one there.</p>

<p>My D and her bf had a small tree last year (4-5 feet) that they bought from a place around the corner from D’s apartment and had to carry home, but it was a cut tree.</p>

<p>Used to pick up a Christmas tree every year in union square and haul it back on the subway to Brooklyn. Ahhhh, to be young again.</p>

<p>I will definitely check out those places. The reason I need to rent is because I love large trees. I usually have an 8-9 foot tree. This year has been very stressful, so I am actually scaling back a bit just for this year, but I still want around a 7 foot tree, so I am definitely not in the market to buy one that size permanently.</p>

<p>Those rental prices seem very high compared to the cost of a cut tree.</p>

<p>I saw this link on a friend’s Facebook page. Not rental, but you can buy a good-sized tree for around $100 with free shipping.</p>

<p>Rent a zip car (or Priceline a rental for $20/day), go 45 minutes north and support the many family tree farms in Dutchess Co. Or you can cut the travel by 2/3 and go to Stew Leonards in Yonkers. Thousands of beautiful trees supplied by family farms.</p>

<p>You could buy a tree in the northwest cheaper than those prices to rent.
