Artificial trees tend to be non-recyclable and although you can reuse them each year, to avoid buying more plastic, real trees are generally the greener option. How we test artificial Christmas trees The experts at Balsam Hill trees have been paving the way for excellent, high quality faux trees since 2006 in the US and 2011 in the UK. Their CEO, Mac Harman, has the following advice.If you don’t have a garden, you can still opt for this, as there are many rental services now available that will collect your tree after Christmas and nurture it until the following festive season.

Artificial Christmas trees don’t come much more high-end than Balsam Hill, and we weren’t disappointed. This bushy, pre-lit tree looks realistic and was up in a jiffy, thanks to clear online videos explainers. Our testers liked the fact it has rubber feet, so it won’t scratch hard flooring, but it is heavy to move around should you need to reposition it, so something to bear in mind.

This is the tree that won the coveted spot in my sitting room last Christmas, even convincing my husband - arch sceptic of artificial trees - that it was better than real. In my mind, Balsam Hill do the best luxury artificial trees (the brand was created after the founder had a family member with a tree allergy); the branches are designed based on clippings from real Nordmann Firs, with needles that are a dark waxy green on top, and gently curved to reveal a silvery underside–just like the real thing. The magic is in the PE moulded tips, and on this 7ft model there are 2,026 of them. Between the branches you can glimpse the trunk, which unlike some other models, has been designed to look like a real tree trunk to add to the naturalistic look. Given their cost, however, we wanted to know which are easy to put up, and which will look the most life-like in your living room. So, our Good Housekeeping Institute experts started the festivities early and tested a range of leading artificial tree brands to find the very finest for your home.
