As already mentioned, Frank’s is a good choice.

I don’t think Kendall’s has trees, but there are trees next to the Giant across the street from Kendall’s. More expensive, but may be more convenient.

Triadelphia runs out of cut-your-own trees in basically the first weekend.

We got ours from Franks this year. Before moving to Columbia we would always go to a farm and cut it, but we have been underwhelmed by the trees at the local farms - too many people cutting too few trees I think.

Frank's, which has been mentioned, but also a place further east on 175 at 2846 Jessup Rd. I used to go before it had a name (or I hadn't noticed), but looks like it's called Duvall's Marketplace.

I think there's some parking lot pop-ups near the Long Gate Shopping Center, NE corner of 29 & 103. I think 1 is set up in the YMCA parking lot and another at the Armory, next to the Fire Station.

We go to the place the sets up in the VCA parking lot on 108, just before the East Cedar Lane Park entrance. We paid $80 this year for a 6 or 7 foot tree that's in great shape. We've gone there for 5 years, they're always super nice. It's maybe not the most "scenic" place to buy being that it's right next to a pretty busy road and part of it is in the parking lot, but I think they set it up well enough and have music playing. We've always been happy there.

I went to tridelphia lake view farm. What an amazing experience. It was my first time cutting down the tree myself. I think they also sell pre cut ones. The farm also has fresh food, wreaths and other decor. I went before thanksgiving so Im not sure what the status of tree availability is now.

I just moved out of a one bedroom condo, I used BGE’s budget billing and paid the same thing every month, and I paid $72 monthly. My condo fee covered water, gas and trash, and the apartment I lived in before the condo also covered those expenses as wel

I will also recommend Payne’s! Great service, friendly staff, lots of ornaments and decorations for sale as well. They will put the tree on your car and if the tree is already in a stand (the smaller ones were), they’ll trim the bottom of the tree and put it back in the stand for you.

My complex does not pay for any of my utilities, so my total bill can be anywhere from $90 to $170 per month. I've found it to be the highest in the peak of summer, when my AC has a real hard time keeping my top floor apartment cool, even when I set it at 78° or 79° or even 80°.

(I forgot to mention that I am in a one bedroom apartment.)
