“Buying a Christmas tree is something very emotional for me. You can tell that people are exhausted from the current time. Christmas trees are distracting, they bring something positive and joy. It’s nice to watch the people doing it, ”beamed Sonja Thalinger (54), who has been selling fir trees on Freistädter Strasse in Linz for 25 years. In the price comparison of 1.70 meter tall Nordmann fir trees in Upper Austria, her company performed extremely well: a tree costs 26 euros for her. For comparison: at a dealer who sells trees in Wels, Linz-Land and Linz, the Nordmann fir in the same size costs 40.10 euros – that is, over 14 euros more. The survey also showed that 52 percent of dealers have maintained their prices compared to the previous year, 30 percent have increased the price, and 18 … percent are selling their goods even cheaper this year.
