In Front of Duane Reade (corner of Flatbush Ave. and Park Place, Prospect Heights, no phone)

These trees are fresh and convenient, and salesman Emmanuel, who hails from Marseilles, is one of the friendliest on the block (though Max, see below, is a close second). Trees are $30 for a 3-footer, $45-$70 for a 5- to 6-footer,  $100 for a 9-foot tree and $200 for an 11-foot Frasier fir. Wreaths are $10 plain and $15 decorated.

In front of Bergen Tile (Flatbush and Bergen, Prospect Heights, no phone)

A very similar set up to the spot in front of Duane Reade, with Frasiers running from $30-$40 for a 3-footer,$55-$70 for a 5-footer and up to $115-$200 for a 8-footer. Douglas firs are $60-$75 for a 5-footer to $70 to $95 for 6-7 footer. But, $25 will get you a 6-foot tree that is full on the bottom but thin on the top. They deliver.

J&L Landscaping (702 Caton Ave., Kensington; (718) 438-3199; www.jllandscapingnyc.com

If you have a car, it might be worth the 15-minute drive to this family owned and operated gardening store. Why? The calm, less urban atmosphere, filled with trees and plants makes the experience more of an outing instead of a chore, especially if you have kids. Fresh cut trees from Canada start at about $45 for a 6-foot tree. They also sell poinsettias, wreaths, and tree stands. They don’t deliver.
