Christmas Tree - Balsam Hill?

If I'm going to get an artificial Christmas Tree, is Balsam Hill the best? Or should I be looking somewhere else? I want something good that will last but can't afford to spend a fortune.

We got a great tree made my everlands. It is a Canadian spruce and is really full and the needles look real. It has been the best we've ever bought and I highly recommend it. We got ours at country baskets at a great price (same tree much more expensive elsewhere). If you don't have the industrial estate store where you live they have a warehouse. They still had them in last year so probably will this year too.

Website that was suppose to say not warehouse!! Shock

Everlands make the ones that John Lewis are selling. I tried to buy a balsam hill one this week, but they've messed up their stock updates online, so I ordered one and paid, then was emailed 2 days later saying they don't have one and will refund my money.

They may be in store only but it'll tell you on their website which stores they have; not sure there'll be any left this close to christmas though. Hope you get fixed up.

Something similar happened to me when I ordered a second tree last year from a garden centre. It's so annoying isn't it! The tree I ended up getting in not as keen on as my everlands and wish I'd got a second one of that and just sprayed my own snow on!!

Because it's got a bit late, I'm just going to get a real one for this year and look into a new artificial one after Christmas. Good to know you like your Everlands so much Pass!

Thanks very much for the help, hadn't heard of Everlands before. We don't have Country Baskets, but I've ordered one from John Lewis.

I splashed out on a balsam hill and I can’t really see where the money has gone. I wouldn’t bother.
