Description
This Meribel Fir is a pre-lit artificial Christmas tree with dense, layered branches in two tones of green, the paler tips giving it the fresh look of a young fir. It tapers evenly from a full base to a single upright tip, keeping a neat cone shape that sits comfortably in a room. The lights come already fitted through the branches, so there is no string to untangle before you start decorating. We sell it in two sizes, 5ft and 8ft. The 5ft is 76cm wide and the 8ft is 1.18m wide.
The 5ft suits a smaller living room, a hallway corner, a landing or a flat where floor space is precious, and its 76cm width leaves room to walk past. The 8ft is the one for a high ceiling, a stairwell or a large family room, where its 1.18m spread makes it the centrepiece everyone gathers around on Christmas morning. Either size works in a bay window too, where the lights can be seen from the street. Because it is artificial, it comes back out every December with no cut tree to fetch, water or take away in January.
The foliage is layered in two shades of green, deeper inside the tree and lighter at the tips, which gives the branches depth before a single bauble goes on. The trunk sits in a black stand with splayed legs at the base. When you first set it up, take a few minutes to tease out each branch tip so the gaps close and the shape fills out. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth and store it somewhere dry when Christmas is over. We like it dressed simply: a handful of glass baubles in one or two colours and a tree skirt around the stand let the green and the lights do the rest.

Frequently Asked
What sizes does the Meribel Fir come in?
We sell it in two sizes, 5ft and 8ft. The 5ft is 76cm wide and the 8ft is 1.18m wide, so measure your space before choosing.
Does the tree come with lights?
Yes. It is a pre-lit tree, so the lights come already fitted through the branches and there is no separate string to wind on before you decorate.
Which size suits a smaller room?
The 5ft is the better choice for a smaller living room, hallway or flat, as it is 76cm wide and leaves room to move around it.
What does the tree stand on?
The trunk sits in a black stand with splayed legs at the base, so the tree stands on the floor without needing a pot or bucket.
How do I look after it?
Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth now and then, tease the branch tips back into shape each year, and store it somewhere dry after Christmas.
What colour is the foliage?
The branches are two shades of green, deeper inside the tree and lighter at the tips, which gives it the look of a young fir.
