Artificial Christmas tree recommendations please

[SlurplePurple]

I moved house in January and now have a big bay window in my living room so obviously that’s the perfect place for our Christmas tree.
I wanted to get a real tree this year but for reasons I won’t go in to (too outing) it needs to be up on December 1st and I doubt a real tree would still look nice on the 25th. So it needs to be artificial.
Ideally I want to spend less than £75, have the tree be as real looking as possible, not gappy, 7ft tall, not sparkly or glittery or pre lit and preferably green, bushy/wide at the bottom too.
Am I searching for the holy grail or does such a tree exist? Please help.

I saw the thread and was going to recommend ChristmastreeWorld, but then I realised you wanted 7ft for less than £75. This one looks OK, and has excellent reviews and not much beyond budget. The sale is on.
We have one of their 'Woodland Pine' trees and it is brilliant.

I was going to wade in with Balsam Hill for the most realistic looking tree I have ever had but sadly not for £75. More like £200+ but genuinely the most amazing trees. I bought mine in their sale.

On another tree thread someone said theirs goes up 1st December and it is a real tree.

I'm still using a 15 year old tree because the modern ones are rubbish. The cheapest 7ft tree ive found that's realistic was £200

I bought a snow pine 6 footer in the balsam hill sale for 129. Worth a look at their sale for 7 footers

Not quite an answer to your question (although i agree with pp - Balsam Hill and get in their August sale for bargains) but we get a real tree too around 1st Dec - Nordman fir (i think?), and keep the water in the stand topped up, and it lasts until 12th night just fine. Only a few dropped needles and keeps its shape.

£75 is quite cheap for a 7ft realistic tree but christmastreeworld or one of the department stores might be good. Whitestores also have some realistic trees but they're slightly more expensive.

In general real trees are quite gappy so if you want it to look realistic then gappy isn't necessarily a bad thing.

If you were ok about it being 6ft rather than 7 and ever so slightly more then this one looks good:

If you have a garden centre near you it might be worth looking there. Our local one has several trees on display ranging from £40 - £300 and they all looked pretty good.
