From the NY Times:It’s going to take more than the mere passing of Christmas to stop Ha Choi from selling his Christmas trees.
He has about 300 of them still for sale at his stand on Northern Boulevard in Flushing, Queens, where they still stand leaning on wooden racks.
A sign announces a sale – “Big Sale” — on the trees, with a strapping 8-footer going for a measly $39.99.
“I ordered 850 trees this year, and I have 300 left,” said Mr. Choi, who immigrated from Seoul, South Korea, 15 years ago and runs the small Ha Young flower and garden center in a food mall on the boulevard near 150th Street. “Last year, I ordered 1,250.”

I need a tree for the next Christmas, will they keep?
Don't go out on a limb!
I heard he's going to use the branches as garnish for his Dog Fricassse
Guess you all forgot the tornados.
Buy them and replace the trees you lost on your property. Is that hard to figure out. They are pine trees not just Christmas Trees.
^^^^ Good point lol I could use a few trees on my property. =D
And to the a-hole with the doggy comment. Have you seen an Asian person actually eating a dog? You are as ignorant and stupid as the retards in the non-honors classes at my school! xP
Now this is a story that has great importance citywide, not like the story about the unplowed streets and sidewalks in Glen Oaks!
Let me state the obvious: Ha Choi should learn that the time to start discounting his Christmas trees inventory -- is before Christmas.
FACT: Chinese and Koreans eat cats and dogs. This goes on in Queens, too.
"And to the a-hole with the doggy comment. Have you seen an Asian person actually eating a dog?"
I Have
They are pine trees (or firs or whatever) if they have roots. Otherwise they are expired merchandise.
