Where To Buy Christmas Trees In Oakton
Patch has compiled places to buy Christmas trees in Oakton and the busiest times to buy them.
OAKTON, VA—As Thanksgiving has passed, you've probably noticed some Christmas trees strapped to the top of cars. There's nothing quite like picking out a Christmas tree to fill your home with the scent of fresh pine needles.
Buying a tree is better sooner than later. The busiest time for Christmas tree sales is typically the second weekend in December (Dec. 9-10 this year), according to data compiled by Square. Another busy time comes in the middle of the month. If you're looking for a less hectic time, weekdays, particularly Mondays, are the best times to stop by. On top of that, analysis shows buying a tree as soon as possible is ideal while supply is higher.
As for the lifespan of the tree, it all depends on keeping it in good condition. The National Christmas Tree Association offers some tips on selecting a tree and caring for it to keep it fresh through Christmas Day.
