Amazon is radical eroticismtaking its live plant delivery services to a new level.

The online retailer announced that starting this November, Amazon Prime members will be able to ship a plant much bigger than those tiny succulents you've been eyeing. The company will branch out to offer a holiday tradition on demand: a whole, live Christmas tree directly to your doorstep, per the Associated Press.

The trees, including Douglas firs and Norfolk Island pines, will be shipped within 10 days of being chopped and delivered in a normal looking Amazon box, sans water.

It's not cheap though. Looking for a Fraser fir? That'll cost you about $115 for a 7-footer. Some trees will qualify for Prime free shipping, but for others you may have to cough up more cash for the convenience of never leaving your home.

Responses to the news were pretty mixed on Twitter, with folks chastising the company for infringing on good ol' holiday traditions. Others, though, were eager to turn to Amazon for even more of their holiday shopping needs.

Who knows? Maybe next spring, Amazon will find a way to hide your Easter eggs, too.
