Please note that all tree heights indicated on our website include the tree stand. If you want the tallest Christmas tree your room will allow, we recommend buying a tree that is six inches shorter than your ceiling height to allow some clearance for a tree topper. For example, if you have a standard 8 - 9 foot ceiling, we would suggest a 7½ foot tree. Here are some more tips:
Under 5 Feet Best for tabletops or secondary spaces like kitchens or dens
5 - 5 ½ Feet Perfect for smaller living spaces such as smaller houses or flats.
6 - 6 ½ Feet Designed to fit homes with low to average ceiling heights.
7 - 7 ½ Feet trees Our most popular size, designed to fit perfectly in rooms with average 8 - 9 foot ceilings.
8 - 12 Feet trees Perfect to showcase in homes with high ceilings for a grand display.
We offer artificial trees in a wide variety of shapes, from traditional full-width trees to space-saving slim trees and flatbacks. When choosing your tree, we suggest that you consider the diameter (in the Shape description, this might be described as Full 40") of the Christmas tree to help you choose the perfect tree for your space. This measurement is taken at the very widest point of the tree. If you plan to have a few branches touching a wall or a piece of furniture, the true space occupied by the tree will be about six inches less than the stated diameter.
Regular (Full) Trees Our most popular choice because of their lush profiles and sturdy branches.
Narrow/Slim Trees Perfect for an elegant effect in smaller rooms and apartments.
Flatback Trees An elegant solution for small spaces, studios and small apartments.
Potted Trees Beautifully accent all parts of your home including patios, entryways and porches.
Balsam Hill's designers carefully craft our trees to mimic nature using site visits and cutting from live trees to guide them. We offer three types of foliage options that are made from either PE or PVC material. While some trees use one type of foliage exclusively, others may use mix of foliage types to achieve a particular look. The specific mix is specified on each product detail page in the section that describes the tree's foliage.
True Needle™ Technology Balsam Hill's exclusive True Needle™ evergreen foliage is used to create our most realistic and luxurious artificial Christmas trees. This ultrarealistic foliage is created with injection-molded PE plastic and several different colors of pigment to mimic the structure, texture, and color of natural evergreen needles. A unique feature of True Needle™ foliage is the color variations within the branches. For example, the branch might be a brown/green while the needles start off a dark green and slowly fade to a lighter green.
Classic Needles Balsam Hill's Classic Needle foliage has soft, flat and flexible needles with a more classic artificial look. These needles are made from thin sheets of PVC that are cut into fine strands to resemble evergreen needles. We use these resilient, flexible needles as the primary foliage of many of the trees in our very affordable Traditional trees. It is also used as filler for most of our Realistic and Most Realistic Christmas trees because of its superior ability to block light and create a "full" look for the tree.
Pine Needles The PVC pine needles used by Balsam Hill® are specially designed to mimic the size and texture of long, thin needles of a pine tree. These needles even have the rigid texture of real pine needles. If you roll them between your thumb and finger, you will feel the ridges.
If you long for the beautiful glow of lights on your tree but dread untangling the wires, Balsam Hill's pre-lit Christmas trees are the answer. All of our lights are UL® approved and professionaly strung on the tree by hand to minimize the appearance of wires. Each of our pre-lit trees for indoor use come with premium commercial grade lights so that if one bulb burns out or is removed, the rest stay lit. We have a wide variety of pre-lit lighting options to suit every decorating need.
Candlelight™ led lights Enjoy our premium energy-saving LED lights that never burn out. Unlike cold light emitted from traditional LEDs, our energy-efficient Candlelight LEDs provide a warm glow reminiscent of a candle's flame.
Multicoloured led lights Enjoy a Christmas glow from our premium energy-saving multicoloured LED lights that never burn out.
Unlit Trees Use your own special lights on these unlit trees. For unlit trees that specify Simple String™, we have already pre-strung the trunk with extension cords, allowing you to plug your choice of lights into extension cord outlets throughout the center of the tree.

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.
