A slim Christmas tree is the perfect solution for those who want to enjoy the beauty of a festive tree without taking up too much space. They evoke the same Christmas charm as the regular-sized versions, and offer a few advantages, too.
Why Choose Slim Artificial Tree?
See if a slim Christmas tree suits your Christmas decorating needs.
1. Space Saver
Aside from the slimmer profile, there’s also a minimal increase in a slim Christmas tree’s circumference even when you select taller variations, unlike the regular cone-shaped trees. However, realistic slim Christmas trees still offer a natural look with foliage resembling fir, pine, or spruce.
2. Versatile
Since it doesn’t take up much space, the possibilities of where to place this type of tree are endless. You can place one on your front porch or foyer to welcome your guests, or in corners of average-sized rooms. Slim trees also make great secondary trees in playrooms, dens, or home offices.
3. Modern and Stylish Look
A slimmer Christmas tree adds a twist to your traditional Christmas décor. You can experiment with more contemporary or minimalist themes. For example, our slim LED Christmas trees come pre-lit, so you can enjoy the simple elegance of a lighted tree.
4. Time-Saving and Cost-Efficient
While this is true for most artificial trees, slim trees are easy to clean and store. This is perfect for people who don’t have much time for tree decoration and prefer the minimal use of tree accents. When decorating a slim tree, there’s just the right amount of foliage to hold and display a curated collection of baubles.
5. Durable
You shouldn’t worry that slimmer trees aren’t as sturdy. Balsam Hill slim artificial Christmas trees are made of the same high-quality PVC branches and metal stand as their regular-sized counterparts, making them just as durable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here we answer common questions about slim Christmas trees.
What Is the Difference Between Slim and Pencil Trees?
Slim trees are designed to be narrower than traditional full-sized trees but still offer a balanced, natural look. Pencil trees, on the other hand, are even narrower with a more tapered, column-like shape, making them ideal for extremely tight spaces.
How Do You Make a Slim Christmas Tree Look Good?
To make a slim Christmas tree look good, layer your baubles by placing larger ones deeper inside the branches and smaller ones toward the tips. Add ribbons, picks, and a tree topper to create fullness and dimension.
How Many Lights Do I Need for a Slim Christmas Tree?
A general guideline is to use about 100 lights per vertical foot of your slim tree. If you prefer a brighter tree, you can increase this to 150 lights per foot.
How Do You Fluff a Slim Christmas Tree?
Start from the bottom and work your way up, spreading out each branch to fill any gaps. Adjust the tips in different directions—upward, downward, and outward—to create a fuller, more natural appearance.
