Christmas tree artificial

junebabies

I'm looking to buy a really good artificial xmas tree. I like the Paul Costello one in Dunnes but its too big for my room. That quality but a neater tree. Any recommendations, its a pain that we cant go into shops and see them in reality

Hello
Because we always put our tree up in mid November, we always have artificial and want to buy a new one this year. Unfortunately due to lockdown I can't view in person so have to buy online.
I've found one I like in Woodies and wondered if anyone is familiar with this tree? Good/Bad?
Thanks in advance.

Drat, I tried to post a link, but can't post images yet. It's a 7ft Fraser Fir Christmas Tree priced at €139.99 (save €60)

If possible try to see in person before buying.

Used to get a real tree but was rarely happy with the tree I ended up with.

Got a good quality artificial tree 3 years ago, much better. My brother went from artificial to real the same year, but his artificial one wasn’t great.

Anyone know if the height of a tree quoted is from the ground or from when it is in its stand?

Got a great one from balsam hill a couple of years ago. Good range of sizes too.

We use a real tree as our main tree and have a couple of smaller fake ones we use as well. So not really much help I'm afraid however I'm sure a few of my learner-ed friends will be able to point you in the right direction.

Are you chopping down/paying someone to chop down innocent trees every year?

We're looking for a 8.5ft-9ft....not as easy to find as you'd think. Given we can really only do research online any tips appreciated.

We went for the Nebraska last year and we love it.

Mcds.ie have very tall trees available for preorder:

Just remember to take into account if you're putting something on top of your tree

I can't say myself but I know I have seen this name mentioned a lot on this forum from home store and more Nebraska Tree and I think someone else mentioned Littlewoods for trees too

7ft is as big as homestore go by the looks, our current one is a 6.5ft Nebraska. Now we have a tall ceiling...

Arnotts and Brown Thomas have some lovely trees for reasonable prices. I got a 7.5ft Puleo Greenwich Fir last year in the November sale for €200. Lovely realistic looking tree. They seem to do a good selection of Puleo trees and I went into see them in both of the stores last year and they all looked very good quality in the €200 to €300 range.

They've sold out of their 8ft and 9fts already, we saw them in store and now they are off the website. Emailed them and they said out of stock with no idea if they will get any more this side of Christmas.

Balsam Hill have really good ones

How many feet tall would you be thinking? We bought our tree last year so I might be able to make suggestions
