I divide my time between Boston and north central MA and Russo's was conveniently located for the trip either way. I know this isn't too helpful for most Bostonians but Idylwilde Farm in Acton is a bit of a mini-Russo's. Not the variety, for sure, but a similar feeling of, "Wow, I got all this nice quality stuff for only $XX." Russo's was truly a bargain considering what you got for your money. And their Christmas trees....

Great shout with the Idylwilde Farm suggestion. I like that place a lot. Also, I miss Russos Christmas trees so much. Luckily I found a reasonable substitute, but we got our tree (Fraser Fir) at Russos for many years and they were always excellent. Now we get Balsam Firs from the Bean Farm in Westwood and they’re really good too.
