Description
Our Thurso pre-lit Christmas tree has deep green branches with frosted white tips, so it looks as though a light frost has settled on the needles. Red berry clusters and brown pine cones are dotted through the branches from top to bottom, giving it a natural, woodland feel before you add a single bauble. The lights are already in place across the tree, so it glows the moment it is switched on. It comes in two sizes, 6ft and 7ft: the 6ft tree is 0.96m wide and the 7ft tree is 1.08m wide. Check the width against the space you have in mind.
With its full, conical shape and frosted finish, it suits a living room corner, a bay window or a hallway with room to spare. The 7ft size gives a little extra height where the ceiling allows. Because it is pre-lit, it is a sensible choice for anyone who would rather not untangle a string of lights every December, and the berries and cones mean it already looks dressed with very few decorations. Add red and gold baubles to pick up the berries, or keep it simple with a little ribbon and let the frost and the lights do the work.
The lights run at low voltage, through a mains transformer that plugs into a socket, so you will want the tree within reach of a power point. Keep the transformer indoors or under cover, and away from anything wet. The tree stands on a black four-legged stand at its base. When the festive season is over, dust the branches with a soft dry cloth before packing it away, and gently fluff the tips back into shape when it comes out again. It is a tree to set up early in Advent and enjoy right through to Twelfth Night.

The green needles have white tips that give the look of a light frost settled on the branches, which sits nicely with the glow of the built-in lights.
