5' Premium Balsam Fir Christmas Tree

The smell of Balsam Fir, the glow of the lights, and suddenly it feels like Christmas.

This fresh-cut 5-foot Balsam Fir brings the tradition of a real tree home in a size that feels full without taking over the room. Its fragrant needles and firm branches create the kind of tree you want to gather around once the evening settles in.

Why You’ll Love It

There is something about a real Balsam that artificial trees cannot quite recreate. The natural shape varies from tree to tree, the fragrance fills the room, and decorating it becomes part of the season instead of just another thing to set up.

How to Care for Your Fresh Christmas Tree

A little care goes a long way toward keeping a fresh tree beautiful through the season.

• When your tree arrives, make a fresh cut of about 1" from the bottom of the trunk.
• Place the tree in water within one hour of making the fresh cut.
• Check the water level every day and keep the stand filled. Fresh trees can drink heavily, especially during the first week.
• Do not let the water reservoir run dry. If the cut end dries out, sap can reseal the trunk and reduce water uptake.
• Keep the tree away from heating vents, radiators, direct sunlight, and other heat sources.
• A cooler room can help the tree stay fresh longer.
• In a particularly dry home, a humidifier can help.
• No tree preservative is necessary when the tree is kept properly watered.
