Customers love the European Fir™

Amazing life like tree

It is extremely life like and is much shaped to look like a real tree instead of the cone shape of most artificial trees. It has plenty of lights, which can be clear or coloured depending on the setting. It is very well made and is very heavy.

—Carol from Hertfordshire

from doubt to thrilled

I have no doubts now, it is spectacular. During the assembly, I'm not sure about this thing but by the time I had got all 3 sections together and fluffed it lightly, well, what can I say, it's as real as you're going to get.

—mikey cunno from leicestershire

Looks great

On receiving our tree, we put it up and I have to say it looks AMAZING. The problem will be do I put it on white lights or multi coloured and I feel I will have to buy new white baubles to be able to switch between the two!

—Donzabub from East Anglia

Wonderful tree!

Fabulous tree. Looks beautiful. Completely real and love we didn't kill a tree this year. It's stunning and a friend has just bought one now too!

—LucyC from Berkshire

First artificial tree - really pleased with it!

I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It did take a while to assemble and fluff out the branches but it does look excellent. The lights with remote control are brilliant - such fun switching between. It's very solidly made

TRUE TO NATURE'S DESIGN

Nature's raw beauty takes centre stage in one of our most unique artificial Christmas trees. Inspired by majestic mountain woodlands, the European Fir is sparse by design and features spacious gaps between branches to provide room for your treasured baubles. Its lifelike foliage is crafted with our True Needle® technology to capture the look and texture of a real fir.

Dark green needles and a full, pear-shaped profile make for a gorgeous display, while long branches on top of the tree stretch upwards for a more natural appearance. Embellish this tree with your favourite decorations for a classic Christmas touch.

Industry-leading lights

Help me choose a light type

The European Fir is offered pre-lit with Candlelight clear or Colour+Clear™ LED lights. It features our Easy Plug® design—strings are fully connected throughout the tree and connections between sections are made automatically inside the tree's patented trunk design. You only need to touch one light string during set-up: the one you plug into the wall. Trees with our innovative LED Colour+Clear® light technology have 50% more lights than our standard clear lit trees. Switch between all clear, all colour, or both clear and colour lights with the touch of a button. Comes with a dimmer function to adjust light brightness to your desired levels.

Easy Plug™ Setup

Light string connections between sections are made automatically inside the tree's trunk, so you only need to plug the tree into the wall.

Color + Clear™ Option

Our exclusive Color+Clear lighting system allows you to change from clear to multicolored lights effortlessly with our remote control.

Professionally Hand-Strung

UL® approved lights are professionally hand-strung to reduce the appearance of wires.

Candlelight™ LED Lights

Unlike the cold light emitted from traditional LEDs, our energy-efficient Candlelight™ LEDs provide a warm glow reminiscent of a candle's flame.

Shaping your Tree

The first time you assemble and shape your tree will require the most shaping to give the tree its full lush appearance. LEARN MORE »

1. With each branch, separate out the individual tips and angle them out and away from the center of the tree.

2. Angle the tips furthest back on the branch and sideways out from the branch to resemble a peacock's fanned tail when shaped.

3. Shape the branches vertically upward as much as possible to give the tree its full appearance. Enjoy your Balsam Hill™ tree!

Storing your Tree

To minimize the need for fluffing in future years, you can compress the branches less and store all or parts of your tree in the original box or a Premium Storage Bag from Balsam Hill™.

1. Remove all ornaments. Check that the tree is unplugged and the wires are not twisted or tangled to avoid damage while in storage.

2. With the tree still standing, un-fluff the branches and detach each section of the tree.

3. Secure the compressed sections with a cord or ribbon before placing them in the provided storage bag. Store your tree in a cool, dry location.
