I understand that Christmas trees are another high-price item in 2021. I have never really understood the supply & demand of harvesting beautiful trees, and how many people adorn our homes with them only to toss them into the alley a month later. It does not seem just, but I continue to do so myself almost every year. Selfishly, for the joy it brings me. And to me, an artificial tree does not bring the same value - as well as the storage in the basement the other 11 months of the year.
From the single web store I found them on; they are not entirely cheap. At around $60 for 16", it makes one grateful for a $75 Blue Spruce that is at least five-fold that size. No offense, but I can guess a few of you with DIY Gardening skills could come up with some sort of foam stock base and pick up your own personal favorites at a garden store (if you can find one still open) - and create your own. Mind you, that by the time you invest in a good 16-20 small cacti, craft ribbons and maybe a few pinecones - that $60 price tag does not seem so outrageous.
It would get lost in your living room setting with a blazing fireplace. But for an urban apartment that is minimal in nature - it could be just the right fit. O Tannebaum!
