Its Frasier firs, reaching five feet or taller, are installed in a complimentary heavy-duty plastic tree stand with a tree skirt and start at $109. If convenience is important to you, you can get your wreath, lights, garland and water funnel (for easily watering) here as well, and the company offers a decorating service ($125) and tree removal ($50).
