Beautiful! Glad he didn't sell. Frost foresaw and prevented some thing that is happening now. Destruction of forest for commercial purpose. Even Christmas trees aren't immune to it.

Three cents for a Christmas tree? A bargain for sure. Good thing he didn't sell. I love the conversational style of this poem. Frost is one of my favorites. That's why he is the keeper of the gate in Poetry Heaven. These days I just use an artificial tree to help save all the forests.

Glad he kept all those Christmas trees- so much richer for having left his hills and valleys clad instead of denuded of God's blessings. This gives good reputation to the tree nurseries

masterful handling of the New England idiom. Formal but conversational- not an easy thing. Excellent characterization, even though the buyer remains two-dimensional. Manages to make the national character attractive, matching sharp for sharp, and satisfying the sympathies of a readership. Despite his reputation for persnicketyness, Frost is justly famous.
