Description
This pre-lit artificial Christmas tree comes with its lights already threaded through the branches, so the glow is in place from the moment the tree is stood up. The Argyll Fir has the full, classic outline of a traditional fir, broad and dense at the base and tapering evenly to a slender tip, with layered branches of deep green needles that give it a well-filled silhouette. It comes in three sizes, 5ft, 6ft and 7ft, and the width is what decides where it will fit: the 5ft is 0.99m across, the 6ft is 1.20m and the 7ft is 1.40m.
We think the 5ft suits a smaller living room, a hallway or the corner of a dining room, where a full tree is wanted without giving up too much floor. The 6ft is the comfortable choice for most family living rooms, and the 7ft gives a high-ceilinged room or a wide bay window a tree with real presence. Because the lights are part of the tree, there is no untangling a string or winding it round the branches before decorating, which makes it a sensible choice for anyone who wants the tree up quickly and the evening free for baubles, tinsel and a topper. It makes a fine centrepiece for the season.
The tree stands on a black stand with splayed legs that sits flat on the floor beneath the lowest branches. When setting it up, fluff out each branch, opening the tips upward and outward so the needles close any gaps and the lights sit evenly through the tree. When the season ends, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth before putting it away, and store it somewhere dry. Dress it with ribbon and baubles in deep reds and golds for a traditional look, or keep to silver and white for something crisp and wintry, and let the lights do the rest.

Frequently Asked
What sizes does the Argyll Fir pre-lit tree come in?
It comes in three sizes: 5ft, 6ft and 7ft. The 5ft is 0.99m wide, the 6ft is 1.20m wide and the 7ft is 1.40m wide.
Are the lights already fitted to the tree?
Yes. This is a pre-lit tree, so the lights are already threaded through the branches and there is no separate string to wind round it before you decorate.
Which size should I choose for my room?
Measure the space you have in mind. The 5ft needs 0.99m of width, the 6ft needs 1.20m and the 7ft needs 1.40m, and allow a little extra room for walking past and for decorations.
How does the tree stand?
It stands on a black stand with splayed legs that sits flat on the floor beneath the lowest branches, holding the trunk centrally under the tree.
How do I get the fullest look from the branches?
Fluff out each branch as you set the tree up, opening the tips upward and outward so the needles close any gaps and the lights sit evenly.
How should I look after the tree between seasons?
Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth before packing it away, and store it somewhere dry so it is ready to bring out again next Christmas.
