Christmas trees in Toronto are now on sale and are ready to be taken home to make your place feel a lot like Christmas. The city itself already feels pretty festive, what with the the largest tree in Canada now on display in the Eaton Centre, so the time is right to get your own. These lots have all types of trees, a range of prices and most of them will help tie it to the top of you car.
Here are my picks for the top places to buy a Christmas tree in Toronto this year.
Fiesta Farms
Tiny two-foot Charlie Brown-esque Christmas trees are available at this lot near Christie Pits as well as huge 14-foot trees. Fiesta Farms offers a variety of tree types and will also deliver and install your tree for you.
Bacardi Holidega Pop-Up
A flat rate of $20 for large trees and $10 for small trees means you won’t break the bank for a tree at this pop-up lot. This two-day event will have complimentary holiday cocktail samples as well. Plan out your tree day accordingly as they'll be planted outside at Brassaii on King Street and parking is sparse.
Dufferin Mall Parking Lot
The best thing about the Dufferin Mall tree lot is location. It's a very central place for a lot of west enders and the parking is plentiful. This lot carries about a thousand trees and they try to open as many as possible so you can see what you’re taking home. Once you’ve found your tree they’ll tidy it up for you, wrap it and help you to your car. Types range from firs (Fraser, Douglas, Balsam and sometimes Colorado) to Scottish and White pines and will run you $25 and up.
St. Lawrence Market
Christmas trees as well as mistletoe, holly and wreaths are available at the St Lawrence Market from Jeff the Christmas Tree Guy. Jeff has been selling trees at the market for more than 25 years and offers four types of trees including Balsams and White Pines. His lot is also open every day of the week all the way up until Christmas Eve.
Sheridan Nurseries
There are seven types of trees to choose from at Sheridan Nurseries to ensure you have the right tree for your Christmas presents to sit under. From table top cuties to 12 foot beasts, their fresh cut trees include Old Fashion Fraser Fir’s, Cook Fir’s, Balsam Fir’s and potted Dwarf Alberta Spruce if you need a tree for a small space. They’ll even give your tree a fresh cut for better water absorption before you take it off the lot. Prices range from $30-$700.
Plant World
Plant World in Etobicoke carries all sorts of plants and holiday decorations as well as seven types of Christmas trees. Find a variety of Fir and Pine trees at this garden store that start at $34.99 and range depending on the type of tree and size. They also offer a delivery service if you happen to fall in love with a giant tree.
Evergreen Garden Market
There are thousands of trees at the Evergreen Garden Market at the Brick Works. Prices range from $35-$220 and they have six different varieties of trees from four feet to 14 feet tall. All their trees are local and come from Everett Ontario near Alliston. Huge bonus, they’ll free cut the tree and tie it to the roof of your car to take it away. The full-service tree lot is open until Christmas eve at 2 p.m.
Lions Christmas Tree Lot at Woodbine Beach
This big ol’ Christmas tree sale used to happen at Kew Gardens Park but has now moved to Woodbine Park where there’s free parking available. It's the largest independant tree lot in North America and trees range from $20-$200. They're open until they sell out and also deliver, you just need to call Pete at 416-576-1946.
Old Cabbagetown Tree Lot
This tree lot has been in business for over 64 years at Parliament and Spruce Streets (right by the No Frills). For many, the adorable silver trailer-sported lot is the go-to spot for Cabbagetown folk. Fraser Firs start at $30 and prices go up from there.
Davenport Garden Centre
Found at the corner of Davenport and Dupont, this store really gets in the holiday spirit with wreaths and other decorations along with a well-stocked back lot of Christmas trees available in a variety of types, sizes and price points.
