But with proper care, your tree should last several seasons\u2014which is why it\u2019s crucial to find the right fit for your family. Here are the key considerations when buying a Balsam Hill Christmas tree, according to our testers. \u00a0<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Height: <\/strong>Balsam Hill Christmas trees range from 4.5 feet to 18 feet, with many options in between. In the trees we tested, we found them to be true to size. Make sure you measure your ceilings and consider how much space you\u2019d like your tree to occupy. Remember: More height typically means more width too!<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Lights: <\/strong>One of the core components of any Christmas tree, Balsam Hill has multiple types and colors of lights\u2014plus unlit options if you\u2019d like to add your own. We\u2019ve tested an assortment of options, including the Candlelight Clear LED lights and Twinkly Light Show lights and can confirm they\u2019re both beautiful.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Inclusions: <\/strong>In the 15+ Christmas trees I\u2019ve tested, Balsam Hill trees frequently come with inclusions that make the setup and take-down process easier. While it depends on the tree and light type, expect to find storage bags, fluffing gloves, extra fuses and bulbs, remotes, instructions and other add-ons. Take a peek at the \u201cwhat's in the box\u201d listing to find exact inclusions for the tree model you\u2019re interested in.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Warranty: <\/strong>All non-clearance Balsam Hill trees feature a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balsamhill.com\/help-warranty-information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">three-year limited warranty<\/a> that protects against mechanical and light failures (excluding burned-out bulbs). This best-in-class coverage can provide additional peace of mind.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Artificial Christmas Tree Considerations<\/h3>\r\nChristmas expert Heather Lundervold of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christmasdesigninstitute.com\/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christmas Design Institute<\/a> also notes that in general, it's important to consider the following factors when shopping for any artificial Christmas tree:\r\n<ul class=\"ol1\">\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Tree Size and Height: <\/span><\/strong>Before choosing an artificial Christmas tree, it is important to measure the space where the tree will go. Measure the ceiling height , leaving at least six inches of clearance between the top of the tree and the ceiling for the tree topper and width of the space making sure you choose the correct diameter of tree so it will comfortably.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul class=\"ol1\">\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Tree Shape: <\/span><\/strong>Decide which shape of tree will best fit the space: full, slim, or pencil style.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul class=\"ol1\">\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Material Quality: <\/span><\/strong>Most artificial trees are made from either PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or PE (polyethylene). PE trees tend to look more realistic as they mimic real pine needles better than PVC. When selecting a tree, aim for one that has at least 45% PE material for a more lifelike appearance.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul class=\"ol1\">\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Tip Count: <\/span><\/strong>Tip count refers to the number of branch tips on a tree and can indicate how full it will appear once decorated. If you plan to use large ornaments, fewer tips may be preferable.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul class=\"ol1\">\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Lighting Options: <\/span><\/strong>Consider whether you want a pre-lit or unlit tree. Pre-lit trees are fast and convenient for set up where unlit trees allow for customization in lighting choices but require additional effort during decoration. If opting for pre-lit options, LED lights are generally more energy-efficient and longer-lasting compared to incandescent bulbs.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul class=\"ol1\">\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Tree Stand Stability: <\/span><\/strong>A sturdy stand is essential for keeping your tree upright and preventing it from tipping over. Look for models that include metal stands rather than plastic ones for better support.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"li1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Budget: <\/span><\/strong>Artificial Christmas trees will range widely in price based on size, material quality, and features. While cheaper options may seem appealing initially, investing in a higher-quality tree can save money over time due to its longevity.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><strong>How We Found the Best Balsam Hill Christmas Trees\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-large wp-image-1930610 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TOHAxFHMA23_ArtificialXMasTrees_KS_10_11_003-square.jpg?fit=700,700\" alt=\"tape measure and christmas tree\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n\r\nTo find the best Balsam Hill Christmas trees, we spent countless hours researching and reading reviews. We evaluated specs, light options, shape and branch structure. We then called in three of our front-runners for thorough, in-person testing, split between our Milwaukee studio and editors\u2019 homes. Our testing involved timing setup and fluffing, hanging ornaments of different weights, measuring and packing the tree away. We also read up on the brand\u2019s trusty warranty\u2014and even contacted customer service for troubleshooting support.<strong>\r\n<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Why You Should Trust Us<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<em>Taste Recipes<\/em> has helped readers create holiday magic for 30 years.
