Balsam Hill - which one to choose?!

Am very tempted to splash out but there are just so many I don't know which to choose! Do you have one that you would recommend? I'd like a 6ft one up to £300ish, can be lit or non lit

We’ve got a 7’ pre lit BH fraser , it’s lovely , also got a 5’ pre lit alpine which I wouldn’t recommend as a main tree as it’s sparser but it’s what I wanted for a specific space .

Well if you are doing it I would definitely go for pre-lit. It makes it so much easier.

Have a look on Brand Alley too - their Christmas shop has some pre-lit trees that looked good.

We have a Balsalm Hill and while I do really like it I do find the fluffing process hard.

This is helpful - thank you!

We bought a beautiful tree from Christmas Tree World. Incredibly realistic and much cheaper than BH. Our son admired it so much he bought one himself.

Interesting that there is a Facebook page devoted to Balsam Hill Complaints.

@TrickyD thanks will have a look at this site

I have a 7ft pre lit Fraser Fir, it's a thing of beauty and still looks brand new 7 years on.

I actually wanted the Nordmann, which is the most common real tree sold in the UK. I think I would still have chosen the Nordmann if it had been in stock at the time of purchase but super happy with the FF
