What is a Flip Trees®?
The Balsam Hill Flip Tree® is a thoughtfully designed tree that makes setup simple and efficient.

The patented technology streamlines the process so that the only section you need to carry is the lightweight treetop.

With only two main parts, these are easy Christmas trees to assemble. You only need to flip the base and attach the treetop, then shape the branches and decorate away.
- VARIOUS LIGHTING OPTIONS
Available in a range of light options, our pre-lit Flip trees also come with Easy Plug setup wherein the light strings are connected within the trunk. Simply plug in the tree to an outlet to turn on the lights.
- BUILT-IN ROLLING STAND
The rolling metal stand has lockable 360-degree wheels, so you can just roll the tree in and out of the room with minimal effort.
