Description
Our Glenside Fir is a pre-lit potted Christmas tree, with its lights already set through full, layered green branches that taper from a broad base to a slender top point. The branch tips are cut in fine, needle-like sprays in the manner of a real fir, so the tree looks natural from across the room, and the lights sit both deep inside and out towards the tips for an even glow on every side. It rises from a dark brown pot with a woven, basket-like look, which gives the base a finished, homely feel. At 0.99m wide it fills a corner generously without sprawling across the floor.
Because the tree comes in its own pot, the base is already finished, so it sits neatly in a living room, a hallway, a dining room or a bay window, wherever you want a tree that looks ready the moment it goes up. We think it suits anyone who would rather spend December hanging baubles than untangling a string of lights, and it makes an easy centrepiece for a family home or a first flat. Set it where it can be seen from the doorway and the glow carries through the room on dark winter evenings.
The lights are fitted to the branches, so setting up is simply a matter of placing the tree and shaping it. Before the first evening, spend a few minutes teasing each branch and tip outwards so the shape fills out and the lights sit evenly. Dust it with a soft dry cloth now and then, and when Christmas is over, store it somewhere cool and dry, ideally covered. For styling, keep it simple: a few gold or red baubles and a length of ribbon let the lights and the woven pot carry the look.

Frequently Asked
How wide is the Glenside Fir tree?
The tree measures 0.99m wide, so it needs a corner or a stretch of wall with a little space around the lower branches.
Are the lights already on the tree?
Yes, this is a pre-lit tree, so the lights come already set through the branches, from deep inside the tree out towards the tips.
What is the tree's pot like?
The tree rises from a dark brown pot with a woven, basket-like look, which gives the base a finished appearance without any extra covering.
How should I set the tree up?
Place it where you want it, then tease each branch and tip outwards so the shape fills out and the lights sit evenly before adding decorations.
How do I look after the tree?
Dust the branches with a soft dry cloth now and then, and after Christmas store the tree somewhere cool and dry, ideally covered, until next December.
