What is the difference between official Christmas tree markets and spontaneous ones?
It is logical that it is better to buy trees at official markets. Each organization informs the population in advance of the addresses of Christmas tree markets and how they will work.
In addition, each official bazaar has its own distinctive external features:
- information stand – legal address, telephone number, full name of the seller;
- the same design approved by the Committee on Architecture and Urban Development;
- fencing and lighting of the entire territory;
- price tag on all trees;
- availability of cash registers, issuance of checks;
- documentation for trade authorization (fines are imposed for illegal trade).
When renting a Christmas tree market in Moscow, you can sell garlands, Christmas tree decorations, pine branches and stands for attaching trees.
The number of official Christmas tree markets varies in different districts of the capital. The largest number is in Lyublino, Strogino, Novo-Peredelkino, Ramenki and Yasenevo. There are few markets in Kapotnya, Pechatniki, Nizhegorodsky District and Pechatniki. In the residential areas of the city, the demand for trees is significantly higher, which is explained by the convenience of delivery.
Mostly trees are brought from nurseries in RussiaPerm Krai, Bashkiria, Voronezh Oblast – these regions specialize in growing Christmas trees and pines.
It is noted that Russians are in demand for trees sold in pots up to one meter in size. In the spring, they are simply planted in summer cottages or on land plots near offices. This is a fairly practical solution to the problem.
How to choose a good Christmas tree?
Before you go shopping, you should first determine a place in the house that is suitable and safe for its installation. A lot depends on these criteria.
The height of the ceiling, the width of the room, the overall size of the room - all this is important to consider when choosing a Christmas tree.. It is recommended to write down or remember all these parameters. Yes, manufacturers mark the height of each tree, but it is still better to take measurements with a tape measure.
Indoors, you should not place the tree near windows, radiators, fireplaces, ventilation openings, or walkways.
When choosing a tree species, it is important to consider that short-needled spruces are easier to decorate. There is enough space between the branches, and the stronger stems can support heavy decorations.
So, at the Christmas tree markets in Moscow they sell:
- fir;
- pine;
- spruce.
All trees have different characteristics and require careful care. Let's take a brief look at each of them:
- Fir has soft to the touch bright green needles. It is ideal for families with small children or pets. The hard branches are located at an ideal distance, which allows favorite decorations to hang independently of each other. Fir is loved for its rich coniferous and slightly citrus aroma. It is known that fir can stand indoors for a long time without crumbling or turning yellow even at positive temperatures.
- European spruce has strong branches and bright green needles. However, it is not durable, so it should be bought only a week before the New Year. In order to slow down the shedding of needles in Russian spruce, you need to use containers with water and special solutions. Blue spruce needles are sharp, and under certain lighting the tree shimmers silvery.
- Pine popular among Russians. Beautiful tree shape, bright green needles, after the tree is installed, the needles do not fall off for a long time - all this makes pine attractive to buyers.
To preserve the longevity of the tree, you need to make a 2.5 cm cut at the base of the trunk before placing it in water. This will help get rid of dried resin and ensure high-quality water absorption.
What to look for when buying:
- the presence of a fresh pine scent;
- rich green color of needles, without yellow hues;
- branches should not bend or break when bent;
- fluffy, soft and non-prickly needles;
- the lower branches point upward.
These are the main criteria when choosing a good Christmas tree for the New Year holidays.
Christmas tree prices in 2025
It is worth clarifying that each entrepreneur determines the pricing policy individually. Every year, the cost of wood depends on the price per meter. In 2023, the price of Christmas trees started from 1,000 rubles, spruce trees - from 1,300, pine trees - 1.2 - 1.6 rubles.
It is important to understand that at Christmas tree markets the quality of trees does not always correspond to the stated price. Therefore, it is worth being careful. Some trees did not achieve high quality during the growing process, but the price for them may be inflated.
As a rule, the most realistic prices are shown by large supermarket chains such as Auchan, Leroy Merlin, etc. They sell trees that do not meet quality standards at an adequate and reduced price.
It is logical that beautiful firs and spruces cannot be cheap. and they still need to be tried to find. However, the demand for premium trees is not high, which in turn shapes the supply.
