Available until November 19, 2018, users can choose between a balsam fir, black hill spruce, or fraser fir on the iconic e-commerce platform. The Amazon Christmas trees measure anywhere between 6'-7' and generally run from $100 - $110.
While the e-commerce platform has delivered plants in the past, this is the first example in which Amazon Christmas trees have been available. While the trees do generally cost more than lot prices, delivery through Amazon is considerably more convenient as it doesn't require transport that often leaves a someone car an absolute mess. Amazon will also sell a collection of other Christmas related plants throughout the holiday season.
