Where To Buy A Live Christmas Tree In The Chicago Area

CHICAGO, IL — Many people are setting out to find the perfect Christmas tree this week throughout the Windy City. From potted trees to tabletop options and even rosemary plants, shoppers are out to find a tree that fits their lifestyle. Several Chicago businesses offer tree delivery, and for the more ambitious tree hunters, some farms allow families to cut down their own trees.

According to multiple reports, nation-wide Christmas tree shortages have led to higher prices. Growers planted fewer trees after the economic recession in 2007, when tight budgets kept people from buying live trees. But deals can still be found throughout the Chicago area, and many are willing to spend a few extra dollars to make tree hunting a fun experience.

Here's a guide of the best places to pick up your perfect live tree in and near the Chicago area, as ranked by Yelp reviewers:
