Balsam Hill Christmas Tree Review

Looking for a realistic faux Christmas tree? This Balsam Hill Christmas Tree Review will help you decide about purchasing the Frosted Alpine Balsam Pine

Looking for a realistic faux Christmas tree? This Balsam Hill Christmas Tree Review will help you decide about purchasing the Frosted Alpine Balsam Fir. This post reviews the branches, needles, lights, and ease of putting it together. #balsamhill #balsamhilltrees #fauxtrees

*I received free product from Balsam Hill, but the opinions in this post are all mine.

I’ve always loved this tree and I’m super excited to share the different specs about this tree. I know it is a hard decision buying these trees, so definitely do your homework before you take the plunge. 

    

Looking for a realistic faux Christmas tree? This Balsam Hill Christmas Tree Review will help you decide about purchasing the Frosted Alpine Balsam Fir. This post reviews the branches, needles, lights, and ease of putting it together. It is a big investment so take the time to do your research. #balsamhill #balsamhilltrees #fauxtrees

When viewing this Balsam Hill Christmas tree review just note that this is a specific tree that has the most realistic needles. 

 

Let’s Take a Look At The Balsam Hill Frosted Alpine Balsam Fir Tree

Size

I received the 7.5 ft tree and in our small living room, the two trees fill the room quite nicely. I know that this tree is what they consider their sparse line. I especially like the open tree since I feel that it looks more realistic. 

These realistic pine needles make it look so natural and real. Check out this faux Christmas tree review. You'll want to read this post before buying your Christmas tree. #fauxtree #fauxtreereview #balsamhilltree #artificialtree #whichtreetobuy

Branch Details

It is probably a little difficult to see in this photo but parts of the branches have true needle foliage. Every needle is this realistic pine needle. No flat plastic needles but rather three-dimensional style needles that are actually a tiny bit prickly when you touch them. You can see a bit of shine from the plastic but the faux snow, makes it look super real. The lower branches are bendable but I found the tip-top branches are a bit stiff. 

This Balsam Hill Tree is made so well. Make sure to read this post before you purchase your tree. It is a big investment and you'll want to be informed before you buy a tree. This post shows the tree lit and not lit and the difference in color. #balsamhilltree #christmastreereview #treereview #fauxchristmastree

The Tree Lights Off

If you are like me, you want to see what the tree is going to look like in your home. So, here it is with the lights off. You can see that it casts a blue-green color. I’m ok with this color, but I do like a tree that looks warm. My other faux tree review has the exact same thing going on. 

This Balsam Hill Tree is made so well. Make sure to read this post before you purchase your tree. It is a big investment and you'll want to be informed before you buy a tree. #balsamhilltree #christmastreereview #treereview #fauxchristmastree

Tree Lights On

I like the tree with the gold hew so I keep my tree lit during the day as well as the evening.

This Balsam Hill Tree is made so well. Make sure to read this post before you purchase your tree. #balsamhilltree #christmastreereview #treereview #fauxchristmastree

Tree Stand

This stand is a bit different than any stand that I have. It has a sturdy plate that the tree trunk fits into. For the most part, the tree is pretty sturdy and doesn’t feel that tipsy. If I move it with my hand it will rock back and forth but it doesn’t fall over. So, you’ll want to cover this metal stand and Balsam Hill has a wide variety of tree skirts.

 

See the fine details about this Balsam Hill Christmas tree. This post covers the fine details of this faux tree. Be informed before buying your artificial Christmas tree this year. #artificialtree #christmastree #balsamhilltree #alpinechristmastree

How The Branches Interlock

I love how little space these branches take on the trunk. When I took each part out of the box and assembled them they just fell into their natural position. Looking for a realistic faux Christmas tree? This Balsam Hill Christmas Tree Review will help you decide about purchasing the Frosted Alpine Balsam Fir. This post reviews the branches, needles, lights, and ease of putting it together. It is a big investment so take the time to do your research. I certain you'll find this post helpful and informative. #balsamhill #balsamhilltrees #fauxtrees

Christmas Tree Lights 

Ok, this sold me, once you place your tree trunks together and plug it in, the lights automatically turn on. The electricity is wired in the tree trunk, so no need connecting wires from each section. All my sections connected and all the lights worked in both trees. 

Tree Flocking

So Balsam Hill says that “foliage is heavily flocked to mimic the appearance of beautiful snow-covered branches.” As you can see in the photo, the snow flocking is made up of fine pieces compared to my other Christmas Tree Review. I like this dusting of snow as opposed to a big clump of snow. In my opinion, it looks like a tree that just got a touch of the first snowfall and I like it. By the way, this tree comes without flocking as well. 

This frosted alpine Balsam fir tree comes in three sections. It is easy to install, and the lights turn on once you have all the parts connected. The pine needles are super realistic and you'll love this faux Christmas tree. #fauxtree #bestchristmastree #balsamhill

Christmas Light Button

Love this feature too, just step on this floor button and it turns on the tree lights.

This frosted alpine Balsam fir tree comes in three sections. It is easy to install, and the lights turn on once you have all the parts connected. The pine needles are super realistic and you'll love this faux Christmas tree. #fauxtree #bestchristmastree #balsamhill

Tree Sections To This Christmas Tree

This Frosted Alpine Balsam Fir comes in three sections. Each section is tagged with a letter. I’m pretty certain that I’ll be able to figure out which section is which when assembling the tree next year. 

Mercury Glass Ornaments

I love this collection of ornaments. They are high quality and just add that pretty sparkle and vintage style to the tree. It is amazing that I received a couple of boxes of them and not one arrived broken. 

 

Love that the instructions are thorough and that the Balsam Hill Tree comes with gloves. The quality of this Frosted Alpine Balsam Fir is crazy amazing. #christmastree #fauxtree #christmastreereview

I love that their directions come in a nice package as well as some gloves and a storage bag. Balsam Hill definitely takes great care of shipping and crafting its trees. 

I hope you found this Balsam Hill Christmas tree review helpful. I know that they have three different styles of needle foliage and the Alpine is the most realistic. If you buy this tree I feel like you’ll love it. Just be aware that it is pretty skinny compared to the big bushy trees. But, I love the elegant, airy and skinny trees. The bigger trees overwhelm our small living room.

Cheers and Happy Holidays, 

Here are my friend’s beautiful trees!

    Thank you for the detailed description! It helps when deciding on a tree. My husband passed recently and I need to find a tree that is easily set up, durable, and when taken down -able to be stored properly protected.

    I love these slim trees, they look perfect in your space, well done! I love having multiple trees around our space, tall slim are perfect!

    Wow! I am so amazed at how real they look. It makes me miss our cabin in the mountains! I’ve never seen a Basalm brand tree in real life, so I’d really be thrilled to have one in my house!

    The trees look lovely! But having a thorough review puts them on a higher pedestal. It truly helps me (and others) make a sound buying decision. Thx

    Hi, I have a question about the ornament set you have on the “Balsam Hill” Frosted Alpine Pine trees. When I click on the link in the blog, it takes me to the ornament set, but then there’s about four different items to choose from. The set with the silver, gold, ombré , or jumbo ornaments. It’s a little hard to tell from the pictures which set you have displayed on the trees. If you could let me know, I’d greatly appreciate it!

    Also, did you find that the faux snow/frost from the tree limbs make a mess? Or does it stay on the tree pretty good?

    Thank you in advance!
    Kelly

      Hi Kelly,
      I’m so sorry I didn’t see your comment earlier. I have the frosted ornament set in silver, and I love them. They are so classic. These Alpine pine trees have just a small amount of flocking, and they don’t shed that much compared to my King of Christmas Prince tree. I love these trees, and they are pretty and not bulky.
