In the downtown area of DC there are a few places to find a Christmas tree. In and around U Street there is the Garden District located on 14th Street and S Street. In the Logan Circle – Shaw area you can find trees for sale at 9th and N Street (right next to the Giant). But if you want to find a great looking tree at a fare price, I recommend taking a trip all the way up to 6400 Wisconsin Ave. Go past Friendship Heights and before Bethesda you will find ‘Christmas Tree Growers’. I bought my 6 foot tree there for $39.00. Not bad.
