Our Realistic Christmas Trees Make Real Trees Grow!

 

Our work with the fantastic Borneo Nature Foundation (BNF) has helped to restore the rainforest and save the home of wild Bornean orangutans.

 

For every order placed during our partnership (from 2019-2024), a real tree was planted in the fire-damaged rainforest. 

 

Since 2024, we have increased our contributions to work with TreeApp. Our latest donation has been used to help restore the Usambara Forests in Tanzania.

A Word From Our MD

"Thank you so much to every customer who purchases a tree from us. With your help, Christmas Tree World are able to contribute to essential reforestation projects across the globe and restore our natural landscape for future generations"

— Lawrence Evans, Managing Director

A slim Christmas tree has a narrower footprint than a traditional tree, making it ideal for smaller rooms, hallways and apartments while still offering a full-height festive display.

A half Christmas tree sits flush against a wall with a flat back, helping you save even more floor space without compromising on the look of a full, bushy tree from the front.

Not necessarily. While slim trees have a narrower profile, many of our bestselling ranges are designed with an exceptionally high number of branch tips to create a full, realistic appearance.

Trees such as the Ultra Slim Mixed Pine combine premium PE and PVC foliage to deliver the same luxurious look as a traditional tree, just with a smaller footprint.

Yes. From the front, a high-quality half Christmas tree looks just like any of our realistic Christmas trees.

Because the back sits flat against the wall, all of the branches are concentrated at the front, creating a full, realistic display while saving valuable floor space.

If you're working with the tightest of spaces, the Green Italian Pencilimo is one of our slimmest designs, measuring just 68cm wide in the 7ft size.

If you need something even more space-efficient, a half Christmas tree can be placed directly against a wall, making it ideal for compact living rooms, flats and narrow hallways.

Yes. Because they have a smaller footprint, slim and half Christmas trees are often quicker to assemble and decorate than full-width trees.

You'll usually need fewer lights and baubles, while still having plenty of branches to create a beautifully balanced festive display.

Yes. Many of our bestselling slim and half Christmas trees are available as pre-lit options, with professionally positioned LED lights already attached to the branches.

This saves time during assembly while ensuring even light coverage, so you can spend less time untangling cables and more time enjoying your Christmas tree.

A slim Christmas tree is generally any tree with a base diameter of around 60–95cm (2–3ft), depending on its height.

For comparison, a traditional full-width 7ft tree is often 120–150cm wide, making slim trees a great option if you're working with less floor space.

At Christmas Tree World, our slim range includes everything from the 68cm-wide Italian Pencilimo to slightly fuller slim designs around 84–90cm wide, giving you plenty of choice while maintaining a realistic, bushy appearance.

Not at all. Half Christmas trees have become increasingly popular because they offer a practical solution for modern homes where space is limited.

Positioned flat against a wall, they create the look of a full-sized Christmas tree from the front while freeing up valuable floor space.

It depends on your space. If you need the narrowest possible tree, the Italian Pencilimo range is one of our slimmest options.

If your tree will be positioned against a wall, a half Christmas tree offers the biggest space saving while still delivering a beautifully full and realistic display.

Slim Christmas trees are perfect if you want the impact of a full-width artificial Christmas tree without sacrificing too much room.

Their narrower footprint makes them easier to position in smaller spaces, while they also require fewer lights and decorations than wider trees.

Best of all, our bestselling slim trees are designed to look just as full and realistic as many traditional trees, making them an excellent choice for homes of all sizes.
