Artificial Christmas Trees

Having a hunt for a good artificial tree as ours needs replaced 😊 I want a beautiful FULL tree - no half bare branches. Probably around 8ft. Not pre-lit as I’m fussy about my lights 😂 Can’t get out to the shops this year so looking to buy online. Don’t really have a budget as such - happy to spend if the quality is right and it will last years.
Have been looking at Balsam Hill and they look amazing 😍 but it’s so hard knowing what type to go for without seeing them in real life 🙈 other people have recommended Christmas Tree World?

Can anyone post pictures of their artificial trees and tell me where they’re from and what kind they are? 🤔

@TrickyD That’s the kind of tree I’m talking about!!! Nice and full and bushy 😍 it’s so tricky to tell from pictures on the websites because everything is edited to look good 😂 How’s the actual quality? Will it last you a good number of years? 😊

I bought ours from Tesco a couple of years ago was around the £50 mark, has berries and pine cones on it already

The trick I have found is to spend time fluffing the branches

We marvel at its quality and realism! I certainly expect it to last many years. Like you I am not keen on pre lit. My son has just bought the 6 ft version of the same model as he likes ours so much.

I’m thinking about faking it this year although love the smell of a real tree!

Audreyseyebrows, you can buy some little green sticks to hide within the tree and they emit a very plausible Christmas Tree smell. I think they are called Sensicles.

@TrickyD wow! That’s it, I’m sold! Thank you, I’ll have a look ! I’m working throughout Christmas so it seems a bit sad to have a real tree when there will be no one at home to enjoy it!

I got a Balsam Hill tree in the sale last year. I actually took down the M&S tree we had up and put the BH one up instead. It's beautiful.
