Balsam Hill Pre-Lit Alpine Balsam Artificial Christmas Tree

Much more Sparse than it looks in the photos. Looks like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree. If you are looking for a Sparse tree I believe the Aspen Silver Fir is a better choice!

I simply love this tree! Everything is just perfect about it. It looks beautiful with and without ornaments.

This is a lovely slim tree that weighs less than 20 pounds! At this stage for us, having a tree that is this light and looks this good is a joy. It is so easy to put together and it looks great. I'm so glad I took advantage of the sale and go this tree.

We love this little tree that so reminds me of the trees my grandfather grew on his farm. It is such an advantage that it came prelit, and it really adds so much charm to the holidays. I'm very tempted to get another to have a tiny forest inside the house.

Let me tell you a story about how Balsam Hill truly saved Christmas. Twenty years ago, I bought a 4½-foot LED-lighted artificial Christmas tree from a company with two names no one could pronounce. It was expensive, and at the time I worried the LED lights wouldn’t last. To my surprise, that tree was a champion—15 years later it still looked brand new. Eventually I downsized, and while that old faithful tree was wonderful, it was simply too full and girthy for my tiny apartment. I donated it and picked up a 2-foot tree from the hardware store. Three years later, I realized how much I missed displaying my Belleek ornament collection. I bought a slim tree from one of those three-letter shopping channels. The first year we were moving, so I only opened the box to test the lights and then packed it back up. The following year, I was excited to finally decorate it—but the disappointment set in quickly. The branches were flimsy, overly symmetrical, and no matter how much I fluffed them, there were no cozy little places to nest ornaments. It was just… okay. This year was worse. Five LED lights were out—and because they were hardwired, there was no way to replace them. No warranty either. For a tree that wasn’t cheap, it was incredibly frustrating. I decorated it anyway and told myself we’d replace it next year, maybe during an after-Christmas sale. Then, two days later, all the lights began shorting out. We ended up with a fully decorated tree that had to stay unplugged due to an electrical issue. That was the final straw. I started researching artificial Christmas tree companies, and Balsam Hill kept coming up as one of the top names. I recognized the brand immediately. When I checked their website—guess what—they were having a sale. That’s when I found the Alpine Balsam Fir®. It was perfect: • 4½ feet tall • Designed to hold approximately 40 ornaments • Comes with a warranty (with optional extended coverage) • And yes—on sale I ordered it immediately. It was two weeks before Christmas, and I fully expected it to arrive after the holidays. I figured I’d just be prepared for next year. Instead, Balsam Hill shipped it the same day I ordered it, and it arrived the very next day. I rushed home from work, took down the broken tree, set up my new Alpine Balsam Fir, and started decorating—and wow. This tree is fabulous. The branches are sturdy and easily support my heavier ornaments. It looks incredibly real, with beautifully shaped branches and a natural fullness that doesn’t feel stiff or artificial. The lights are warm and inviting, creating that cozy Christmas glow I’d been missing. Not only does it hold 40 ornaments—it holds more than that with ease. Best of all, I can finally see all my Belleek ornaments again, beautifully displayed and securely supported. Now my favorite part of the day is curling up on the couch with my dogs and a good book, the tree glowing softly nearby. I don’t worry about sagging branches, flickering lights, or electrical problems. I just enjoy Christmas. Thank you, Balsam Hill, for truly saving my Christmas. The Alpine Balsam Fir® isn’t just a tree—it’s peace of mind, beauty, and holiday joy all wrapped into one.

very realistic pre lit tree. It was a bit pricey, but it will pay for itself after a couple more Christmas seasons.

This tree is simply beautiful. I recently moved to DC and now live in a small 1 bedroom apartment. I needed a smaller tree and ordered the 4.5ft height tree. It’s the perfect size and has the right amount of lights. The needles look life like and my nephews enjoyed wearing the two pairs of gloves it came with to pull the branches out. I’m very pleased with this purchase.

The best tree…….i picked it because i lived in Germany as a child and it reminds me of that……love how the ornaments show up. All and all it’s beautiful. Thank you.

Beautiful tree. Guests thought it was real. My living room is small so having a sparse tree looks nice and not too cluttered. Assembled in under a minute.

What a nice change getting a tree of great quality and easy to assemble. So happy I decided to try a tree from Balsam Hill.

Realistic looking tree. Showcases all of my Old World ornaments. Easy to assemble.

The most real fake tree I’ve ever seen. Great quality and exactly what I wanted

It's a really pretty tree but the lights started flickering just less than a week I had it up :(

Great quality- perfect number of lights. Lovely sparse - minimal, which is what I wanted!

I like the openness of this tree as you can see the ornaments better than you would with a fuller tree.

We’re very happy with this tree! The 4.5' Alpine Balsam Fir from Balsam Hill is exactly what we were hoping for. It looks full and realistic for its size, with nicely shaped branches that fluff out easily. The warm LED lights are a great touch—soft, cozy, and evenly distributed, giving the tree a classic holiday glow without being harsh. The size is perfect for a smaller space, tabletop display, or secondary room, and it still feels substantial and festive. Setup was straightforward, and the overall quality feels solid and well made, just as you’d expect from Balsam Hill. Overall, it’s a beautiful little tree that brings a lot of holiday charm. We’re very pleased with the purchase and would happily recommend it. 🎄

Most realistic looking artificial tree I have ever owned. I wanted a feather tree but, have been unable to find one. This tree had the sparse branches I wanted. I can see all of the ornaments I spent years collecting. Love it. Thank you!

Gorgeous little tree! As pictured. Ornaments hang beautifully.

This is the highest quality tree I’ve ever purchased. The detail is exquisite and branches are so realistic. I wish I had bought this tree years ago!

This tree was a little disappointing. I hate the stand, tree is slightly crooked no matter what I try to level it up. A regular X shape stand would be much better. It’s not a tree for someone who has heavy ornaments(glass, etc.). My previous sparse tree had substantial limbs that held heavy ornaments easily. It looks ok decorated but definitely a little sad and droopy. Also it does not have a remote or any light options or a timer feature which are nice and expected with a tree at this price point. Could not copy and paste a picture, tried every way I know.
