Are the Balsam Hill Trees really as good as real ones?

[Tartpop]

I have been tempted for the past few years to buy one. Last year my real tree cost me £70 ( I didn't read the label properly).

I'm not worries about the smell as I have White Company Winter smellies around which I love. For me, its all about the symmetry (I'm not a truly awful person really).

I have never seen one in the flesh.

Well watch this space, mind has just arrived and will be going up next week. I saw them ‘in person’ in a boutique hotel and ordered it off the back of that 🤞perfectly symmetrical, bushy and realistic

I got one last year after realising I was spending about £80 a year on a tree.
Got one in the pre christmas sale for £300. Pre lit and it's amazing. Looks absoloutely real.

Ahh I bet they are lovely. I have just remembered though that I really love going out and buying the tree at the beginning of december. Also taking DD to the grotto etc.

Maybe I should wait another couple of years until that bit isn't so exciting.

but i really want one!

I got a balsam Hill one last year and they are truly brilliant. Pre lit so no light wrangling and look very realistic!

Any idea how big they are to store?

We've bought a 7ft slim one from Balsam Hill for £169. It came with a storage bag which is huge and obviously designed to fit all their trees, so plenty of room to fit our tree in.

Ours is going up on Saturday, and I'm excited to see how it looks.

We got one last year in a sale, and it is beautiful. Not massively bulky to store (and has its own bag).
I like going shopping for a pine wreath for the door instead
