(CBS/AP) NEW YORK You'd have to live in one of those vintage Manhattan apartment buildings with extra-high ceilings to make it fit -- and even then, it might not fit your budget.

We're talking about the asking price for some of the tallest Christmas trees this season -- as much as $400 for a 12-foot Canadian balsam.

"This is New York," a resigned Kevin Cruse told the Daily News as he and sons Devin, 5, and Taylor, 1, snatched up a 7-foot tree for a mere $100 on the Upper East Side.

The $400 12-footer was offered in Tribeca -- seemingly a bargain compared to a 10-footer priced at $395 at the Chelsea Garden Center, the News reported.

 

I wonder what the apartment with high ceilings rents for ?

 

Fuck no! I'm cheap ass hell, there is no way I would pay that.

 

i hate cutting down trees for christmas so much....soooooo much
i woud certainly not pay $400 to cut down a beautiful tree just to stick in my house for a few days/weeks
i love trees

 

No freaking way. If we had $400 laying around, there are much better ways to use it.

Anyway, I can't stand the smell and we have allergies in the family....there is a lot of mould and whatnot on a live tree...

 

No, I would not.

 

no, i would just drive out to the forest, cut a tree and bring it back

 

Geesh for $400 you could get a really nice artificial tree you could use for years! If I wanted a real one, I would cut my own down and save a couple hundred bucks....
Do ppl have nothing better to do with there money?

 

No... Fake trees last longer, you don't kill a tree, and the anmals don't piss on them.

 

my freshman year at college, we went out into the woods around school and were looking for a christmas tree to cut down to put in the hallway and a few smaller ones to give to our fired cadre (military school)...so we cut down a few small trees and then i saw this 40 foot tree and said we should cut that down. we cut that bad boy down with a leatherman tool...and then cut the top 8-9 feet of the tree off to use as our hallway christmas tree.

turns out that tree was a protected species tree and we could have gotten in tons of shit for cutting it down haha. one of the classes went to go look at it, and the professor was stunned that the tree was missing. my rook buddies in the class were laughing haha
