Like traditional Christmas tree lights, the pre-strung strands plug into each other.

Customers love the Kensington Flatback

Wonderfully realistic!

I absolutely love this tree. I didn't expect it to be so realistic as I hadn't been able to afford the more expensive ones. But as we unwrapped it, my grandsons and I, we're very impressed... I loved all the details e.g. the TWO pairs of cotton gloves; the bag that was included for the dismantled tree; the hinges on the branches.

—Billy 153 from Wales

Better than the real thing!

I have a small living room, but wanted a tree to make a statement, the flat back does exactly that. It looks great against the wall without intruding too much into the room. The lights look great too all evenly spaced throughout the tree. I recommended to my sister and she has bought a full size version.

—Dottyt53 from Portsmouth, UK

Brilliant tree

I usually buy a real one but I have a Springer Spaniel whose tail wags faster than the speed of light so the floor would be covered in pine needles... Not anymore and it's so attractive and bright with the led lights on.

—Donut from Exmouth, Devon

What a Cracker

Very easy to assemble. Everything is top quality. You can't tell when it's fully up and dressed that it's a flat back. Had lots of comments from family and friends about how gorgeous it is. It's ideal for limited space. It may be flat back but it still has the fullness. Love the bag that comes with it.

—Susie from United Kingdom

Perfect tree

I had this tree in my living room, the compliments kept coming, everyone loved it. It looked like a full size tree but took up half the space. I can't recommend it enough. So simple to assemble and fact that it was pre-lit was icing on the cake.

—Kath from Derby, England

Full Christmas Flavour for Half the Space

Our exclusive Kensington Flatback Tree has a brilliant design that allows you to display what appears to be a full tree—but takes up only half the floor space. Designed to fit in the urban residence, this innovative tree is ideal for any flat or tight space where a full tree is not practical, but where a full-sized tree is desired.

Made with classic needle foliage, the tree is a full 50" wide but has a flat back which rests against the wall and features lush foliage that comes out no more than 25". This is the same 'trick' used by Hollywood studios for movie and TV sets, incorporated into a durable Balsam Hill™ tree.

We also designed the Kensington Flatback Tree to be convenient for off-season storage: it takes up much less space than a traditional tree and is designed with ultra-light construction (the full tree is only 14kg) so that it can be hoisted into the rafters of even the smallest storage closet.

The rounded tips of this tree fan off of sturdy branches that can accommodate your favourite ornaments. It is available prelit with state-of-the-art Candlelight™ LED lights, adding a touch of quiet elegance. Beautiful yet practical, our half Christmas tree for the wall delivers the full flavour of the holidays to small and mid-sized flats.

General Setup Video: Watch how easy it is to set up your new Balsam Hill Christmas tree.

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.
