The Best Christmas Tree Deal Near L.A. Is One You Cut in Somis

Ranked by each seller's posted price for a 6-to-7-foot tree, then by the trip it takes to get one home.

The cheapest posted price for a six-foot Christmas tree near Los Angeles belongs to a Monterey pine growing in a Somis field, and the buyer holds the saw.

Hagle Christmas Tree Farm charges $70 to $100 for choose-and-cut pines between 6 and 7.5 feet tall, according to the farm's website, and parking and entry are free. These three sellers post a price for a tree that size, and here's their order. After them come the familiar names that keep their prices off the internet.

1. Hagle Christmas Tree Farm, Somis. The farm's pre-cut firs at 6 to 7 feet are $110. The catch is the trip. The farm is out on Somis Road in Ventura County. It says Google Maps can put it in the wrong spot, and it asks visitors to look both ways at the train tracks. The cutting field can be more than half a mile on foot from the parking lot, over packed dirt and wood chips.

Hagle opens Nov. 27 at 10 a.m. After that it's open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends and 1 to 5 p.m. on weekdays. The farm says its prices can change and that each tree is priced by size and quality.

2. Santa & Sons, Valley Glen. Santa & Sons lists its 6-to-7-foot Douglas fir from $109.99. That's one cent less than Hagle's pre-cut tree, and the lot sits at Los Angeles Valley College, 12901 Burbank Blvd., inside the city. According to Fun With Kids in LA, it opens Nov. 25 and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The trap is one shelf over. At the same height, the lot's premium noble fir starts at $229.99, more than twice the Douglas.

Here's my hot take: I'd rank a tree lot on a college campus above a family farm that has grown trees in a canyon since 1963. The numbers back it up. For a tree between 6 and 7.5 feet, Peltzer's posted range starts at $100, about where Santa & Sons' Douglas fir starts, and goes up to $150. And the lot in the Valley doesn't ask anyone to drive up a canyon road with cash in hand.

3. Peltzer Pines, Silverado. Peltzer Pines sells Monterey pines and Leyland cypresses for about $100 to $150 between 6 and 7.5 feet, out on Blackstar Canyon Road in Orange County. It takes cash or checks, not cards, and there's an ATM on site. Staff can cut the tree down for the buyer. The farm also bans photography, so the Christmas card shot will have to happen at home.

This is the entry I'm least sure of. Peltzer's price list doesn't give a year and says prices may change. Fun With Kids in LA reports it opens Nov. 21, and the farm says Dec. 20 is the last day to buy.

Unranked. Sand Haven Pines in Perris prices every tree one by one and posts no figures. Fun With Kids in LA reports it opens Nov. 21 for its 47th season. Mr. Jingle's, which has lots from the Original Farmers Market to Torrance, lists a 6-foot noble fir at its West L.A. lot for $105, under Santa & Sons' price, and a 7-foot one for $150. Frosty's Forest in Valencia doesn't have a price list I could check.

The Conejo Valley's Christmas Ranch Tree Farm is off the cut-your-own map entirely this year. According to Fun With Kids in LA, it has new owners and is selling only pre-cut Washington firs.

The calendar runs in the opposite order from the list. Peltzer opens first, on Nov. 21, and Santa & Sons follows Nov. 25. Hagle, the cheapest of the three, doesn't open until the day after Thanksgiving.
