Seasonal Tree Picks
Best-Selling Products
When it comes to decorating a Christmas tree, it’s often the little details that make the biggest impact. While ornaments and lights provide the foundation, tree picks add that extra layer of texture, color, and depth that brings the whole look together. At Balsam Hill, our selection of premium tree picks offers endless ways to personalize your tree, whether you prefer a lush traditional style or a more modern, minimalist approach.
From classic pine cone picks to elegant eucalyptus picks, our assortment is designed to complement any holiday theme and help you create a display that’s as beautiful as it is unique.
What Are Tree Picks and Why Use Them?
Tree picks are decorative floral-style accents made from faux greenery, berries, blooms, or metallic elements, designed to be inserted into the branches of your Christmas tree. Think of them as the finishing flourish that fills gaps, adds volume, and elevates your overall design.
The Benefits of Tree Picks
Unlike traditional ornaments that hang from the branches, picks for tree decorating are tucked in, allowing you to control exactly where they go and how much visual impact they have. They can be used to highlight certain areas of the tree, create color contrast, or even coordinate with a specific theme.
