A CHRISTMAS CLASSIC

BH Fraser Fir Trees

Bring the warmth of the season to your decorating with a lifelike replica of one of the most popular Christmas tree species.

Moulded from natural Fraser fir branches, its elevated True Needle design mimics real foliage with 40 different tip variations, the most on any of our trees. This realistic Christmas tree provides an elegant backdrop that inspires unforgettable celebrations.
<h3>Natural Characteristics</h3>
Widely regarded as the best Christmas tree species in nature, the Abies fraseri is native to the forests of North Carolina and surrounding Appalachian states in the U.S. Our BH Fraser Fir takes inspiration from this beautiful tree. Dark green needles with silver undersides, along with a more organically shaped treetop, accurately replicate the vibrant colour and natural silhouette of farm-grown Fraser firs.

Your Balsam Hill tree is packaged for easy unboxing. Getting it ready to decorate is a 1-person job that takes minutes. For decorating, however, we recommend bringing the family in on the fun.
Each tree comes with a scratch-proof stand with rubber feet to protect your floors and fabric gloves to protect your hands during setup and shaping. Once you have the tree in its stand, the hinged branches will fall into place.

Balsam Hill™ is proud to unveil the latest in Christmas tree design: our state-of-the-art Flip Tree™ technology. This unique patented design is protected by two issued US Patents (#8,062,718 and #8,993,077) and is exclusive to Balsam Hill. With this innovation, we have eliminated the need to lift heavy sections of the artificial Christmas tree during assembly and storage. Homeowners can simply roll in the tree out of the box on its wheeled base, lock it securely into place, flip the bottom section up, and install the lightweight tree top. Flip Trees up to 7.5’ generally come in just two sections, so only the tree top needs to be lifted. Larger Flip Trees may have two top sections. In just a few easy steps, you can assemble a grand holiday display.Flip Tree Setup Video: Watch how easy it is to assemble your new Balsam Hill Flip Tree.

The innovative design of this Instant Evergreen Tree makes setup easy and fast. Featuring unique memory wire branches that automatically fan out into place as you set up your tree, our Instant Evergreen trees are ready in minutes. This tree also features our Easy Plug® technology, which means the light strings automatically connect through the trunk of the tree during setup - the only light string you need to touch for a beautifully lit tree is the one you plug into the wall. This truly instant tree will save you valuable time and effort compared to setting up and fluffing a traditional artificial tree.Setup Video for Instant Evergreen Trees: Watch how easy it is to set up your new Balsam Hill Instant Evergreen Tree.

Shape the tree section by section, starting at the bottom. So, if your tree comes in 3 sections, shape the lowest section before putting the second section on top. You might also consider tying up the higher levels of branches in the sections to keep them out of your way. You can use the ribbon that came on your tree. <a href="https://www.balsamhill.com/inspiration/shaping-your-artificial-christmas-tree-instructions">Learn more</a>Tip: Save that ribbon for wrapping up your tree after the season

Hello The first time you assemble and shape your tree will require the most shaping to give the tree its full lush appearance. <a href="{0}" target="_self">Learn More</a>

Remove the top section of the tree before flipping the tree base. After placing each section of the tree in the provided storage bags, roll your Flip Tree into storage with the utmost ease.
