Habitat 6ft Mixed Tip Natural Look Christmas Tree - Green

Product Information

It arrives with a frosted finish for that instant snowy feel, and its quick-fit stand makes it a doddle to set up.

Delicately detailed to be as lifelike as possible, it's classic Christmas tree green with light brown branches. The weight of the overall tree will also give an idea of quality: expect a premium 7ft tree to weigh over 15kg, while a cheaper option could be around 8-10kg. Get a full front luxe look of a traditional 6ft Christmas tree but only take up half the floor space. A real Christmas tree removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while it’s growing and usually has less far to travel. Look for trees made of PE (polyethylene), whose needles are injection moulded in 3D, sometimes using moulds of branches from real trees to create a more life-like appearance.The plastic pot it comes in is fine, but you might want to display it in something more decorative, or even a spare terracotta from the garden. Or grab one of our fibre optics or pre-lit Christmas trees to make decorating quick and easy this Christmas. As realistic as it looks, it's still artificial which means you can pack it back in its box ready for next year. But, let's face it, the reality can be less than magical – namely, constant needle dropping can be a nuisance to clean up.

Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. The Dunhill trees at Selfridges are some of the fullest available, and this 7ft number has a generous 2,144 tips. Habitat is a trading name of Argos Limited who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as a credit broker (713206), and works exclusively with the lender, Home Retail Group Card Services Limited, who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to provide credit (716148).This is because of metal, plastic, energy and water used in its manufacture and export (usually from China). Plus, if you don't have easy access to a nearby Christmas tree allotment or much space for a real tree in your home, it's just not a viable option. When January rolls around, you can pack it back up into its box ready for next Christmas (and many more after that). It is easy to assemble but be warned: the branches take quite a while to unfurl and twist into shape.

Designed to recreate the magic of a real tree, this natural looking upswept tree offers all the charm minus the maintenance. The tree is simple to set up - it comes in three sections, which slot together and then into the metal stand provided; the branches are hinged and need to be pulled down into place. Between the branches you can glimpse the trunk, which unlike some other models, has been designed to look like a real tree trunk to add to the naturalistic look. When space is at a premium, a slim Christmas tree or pencil trees are ideal for bringing in the Christmas cheer whilst saving your floor space. It has a soft, irregular shape with branches of different lengths, meaning decorations can sit neatly and longer branches can hang freely, adding to the full, authentic tree look.There are not as many branches as the more deluxe offerings (it weighs 10kg, compared to the 45kg of the Balsam Hill Nordmann Fir below which gives you an marker to compare it by), meaning that the undecorated trunk is on show, and overall the effect is not as realistic.

Once it's up and built, we recommend you spend a little time tweaking and teasing the branches to give them a thick and full look. Next, lower the hinged branches and spend some time tweaking and teasing them so they're thick and bushy. While I felt this was among the best of John Lewis offering, the brand has a huge array of choice, including the cheaper Petersberg and Fireside ranges, which have fewer tips. It's the perfect size for smaller living rooms, entrance halls or porches, ready to welcome family and friends in festive style.Line up several down the path for a luxurious festive feel, place on your doorstep or even in the porch. This dramatic Canadian Blue Green spruce features dense foliage composed of soft yet sturdy needles in blue-green and silvery hues, with light-brown tinted stems for added depth.
