Slim Christmas Tree

Amongst many people, there is a myth that Christmas is not Christmas if they don’t go out and buy the biggest tree they can find. They then proceed to spend a small fortune on decorations and lights, before proudly displaying the huge tree in a prominent position within their home.

This is fine for those who have the room, but it is not practical to have a large tree within a small living space: it makes life uncomfortable for those living there, and thankfully Christmas tree manufacturers have recognised this. For such people, there is the slim artificial Christmas tree.

There is a wide range of slim-line artificial Christmas trees on the market today. Most retailers sell slim versions of their best-selling artificial trees, and, just like the regular tree, they come in all styles and colours, pre-lit and/or pre-decorated. Slim artificial Christmas trees come in normal heights, but smaller diameters – a 6-foot tree will typically have a 40-inch diameter, whilst a 7-foot tree will have a 46-inch diameter. As well has taking up less floor space, slim-line trees look very graceful.

Do you think slim christmas trees look as good as regular sized trees?

There are many space-saving slimline Christmas trees available today, in response to a huge demand for them. These come in all sizes and styles –all the most popular Christmas tree designs usually come in a slim version. Wall mounted ‘half-trees’ and upside down trees are also available and both these save valuable floor space. People may make the assumption that the slim Christmas tree is flimsy and of inferior beauty to the fuller Christmas tree, but this is simply not the case. Most slim-line Christmas trees have the same amount of foliage as their fuller counterparts; it is just the base diameter that is smaller. The long, narrow shape of the slim Christmas tree also gives it a very classy and elegant look.

All slim Christmas trees above have one thing in common – they are all artificial Christmas trees. A good choice of artificial slim Christmas trees is all very well, but what about those who wish to purchase a real Christmas tree but have limited space? The problem is that most popular species of Christmas tree, such as the Norway spruce and Nordman fir, are cultivated to produce full, bushy foliage, in keeping with the idealistic notion of the ‘perfect’ Christmas tree. However, the Serbian spruce, a relative of the Norway spruce, has a beautifully narrow silhouette, making it perfect for small spaces. Unfortunately, this species of Christmas tree is only grown on a small scale in the UK, which may make it difficult to locate retailers – a good place to start would be an internet search engine.

Do not despair if you live or work in cramped conditions – there will be a suitable slim Christmas tree for you, whether artificial or real.
