This is not your father's plastic tree.   Oh wait, your father didn't have a plastic tree?  Well, this might be the year to think about it.

Balsam Hill is making this ultra-realistic plastic tree.  Available in sizes 6.5', 7.5', 9', this artificial tree isn't the sheet plastic and foil version that I grew up seeing.

By using high tech fabrication processes Balsam Hill can get products that look amazingly close to the real thing.

If you want to decorate the tree each year, you have to think about whether you're cutting down a tree, pulling a potted plant to serve as a decoration, or if you're finally going to go with one of these artificial trees.    If you need to have the massive tree in the house, and don't want to cut down a tree, or spend the $100 each year for another tree which will wind up in the chipper, check out the Balsam Hill Fir.   

The only thing missing is the pitch, spilled water and broken needles under the couch cushions.

If you're not convinced, you can get a free sample of their product (you only pay $15 for shipping).


The BH Balsam Fir was named "Best Overall" in the December 2007 Good Housekeeping Magazine article on artificial Christmas trees. Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, the BH Balsam Fir received high praise for its color, natural-looking branches, and extra features!

The beloved Balsam Fir is one of the most common tree species in North America, and its hardy nature allows it to thrive from the mountains of Virginia through the Northeast and all the way into the Artic Circle! Known for its attractive shape and its sticky resin, the Balsam Fir is one of the three most popular Christmas trees of all time. Our signature BH Balsam Fir models nature’s Abies balsamea right down to the detail of its dense needles (though we left out the sticky resin!).

Since the Balsam Fir is our namesake tree, we asked our designers to go overboard to create the finest replica of Abies balsamea possible. They started with its distinct needles and semi-flat branch tips, using cuttings from nature to guide the mold making process for our BH Balsam Fir’s special True Needle™ branches. The brown-tinged stems lend a touch of warmth to the natural green color of the tips, creating a pleasant realistic hue to complement any Christmas décor.
