Choosing the Right Size & Shape
Christmas Tree Height Guide
We recommend leaving at least 6 inches between the ceiling and the top of the tree, including tree toppers or decorative accents that add to the tree’s height. If the space has 14-foot ceilings and you plan to use a 12-inch tree topper, you should purchase a 12-foot Christmas tree. Balsam Hill trees are measured from the bottom of the stand to the topmost tip.
Insider’s Tip
Christmas Tree Shapes
The shape of the tree determines how much space is required. Full and wide trees are great for spacious areas such as lobbies and ballrooms, while slim and sparse trees are ideal for corners and more constrained spaces. Measure your set-up location and compare it to the tree dimensions provided on our website. Our measurements are based on the widest point of the tree when fully fluffed.

Other Considerations
Timing
Christmas decorating takes thoughtful planning, especially when done on a larger scale. Businesses usually purchase their trees and decorations earlier in the year. By planning ahead, your team can avoid becoming stressed or overwhelmed during one of the busiest times of the year.
Complementary Décor
Consider the style and color of the space you’ll be decorating. Plan to purchase ornaments and decorations that complement the color palette and style of the room or building so that everything looks cohesive. Some of our popular themes include Nordic Frost, Burnished Metals, and Brilliant Bordeaux.
Outdoor Decorations
If you’re decorating al fresco areas, make sure to use greenery and other decorations specifically made for outdoor use. These are made with a UV-resistant finish to protect them from sun and weather damage.
Assembly & Storage
Larger Christmas trees might require special equipment to assemble and decorate. Plan for ladders or lifts and additional manpower, if needed. At the end of the season, protect your investment by storing your Balsam Hill trees, ornaments, and greenery in heavy-duty storage bags. Our storage solutions are specially designed to keep your Christmas decorations safe from dust, pests, and damage while stowed away.
