National Tree Company 7.5ft Unlit Norwegian Spruce Christmas Tree | 1,325 Tips, Includes Stand, Artificial, Green

We are typically real tree people, but travel every year for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. This means while we’re gone we have to try coordinating having someone to water the tree. This is among several reasons we decided to enter the artificial tree market. I was a little in skeptical upon unboxing this tree. The branches looked thin. But as we fluffed the branches, put on lights, and adorned the tree with our ornaments, it came to life! A few key observations: 1. The tree is very easy to put together. All the pieces are lightweight, and the three components go together in less than a minute. 2. The tree seems to be high quality. We returned another tree because branches were falling off the first time we unboxed it. The branches seem to be secure and the hinges high quality. 3. This tree is surprisingly life like and realistic. Obviously it doesn’t have a real trunk, but while we’re sitting and enjoying it, it looks so similar to the real tree we had in the same spot last year. The difference is that we don’t have to water it, deal with falling needles, or haul it away at the end of the season. We love this tree. We’ve looked at a lot, including high end brands like Balsam Hill. For the price point, this tree would be hard to beat. We put it up last night, and are excited to have visitors and see if they think it’s real!

Happy with it for $180. This tree style is sparse, but that's the point. I don't think this style warrants a higher price than what I bought it at in July. With proper fluffing I think it looks very realistic! I'm excited to decorate it this year. Coming from a fuller pine, I enjoyed how light and easy to set up and fluff this one is.

After having a real Christmas tree for 25 years, I finally decided I was done. I absolutely love the look and smell of a real tree, but decided it just wasn't worth it. For one, real trees are expensive - like $75. And living in CO, even staying on top of the water every day, a live tree is perpetually "dry" and shedding needles from the day I get it, making me ready to toss it the moment gifts have been opened on Christmas morning. Oh, and my cat loves the water no matter how well I try to cat-proof the base, so we have a whole Christmas-tree-water-barfing-season every year. I settled on this tree for 2 reasons. I wanted one without lights - I love my retro looking colored lights and wanted to keep using them. Plus any artificial tree with lights seemed to get tons of reviewers who said the lights were notably problematic, causing them to toss an otherwise totally good tree. That limited the search by a ton as there aren't nearly as many without lights. Then I was going for whatever looked the most realistic and seemed to get good reviews. This tree was easy to assemble - I think I did watch a video online, but we could have easily figured it out without that step. You need to take the time to separate all the branches to make it look more realistic, but it took under an hour. I read reviews of other trees where people complained the branches were so scratchy they actually got cuts/scratches when putting their tree up - I didn't have that issue at all with this tree. My daughter and I put it up in under an hour without a scratch. After putting it up, the tree didn't fool me at all, it's artificial and - duh - I can tell. But once the lights and ornaments are on, it truly looks great. The only part that really looks fake is the top 24" or so, it's just a little sparse and the branches look maybe too symmetrical. But I don't mind it, the ease of having this tree is totally worth the trade-off, and it really is pretty regardless of the fact I can tell it's not the real deal. We'll likely load that area of the tree up with a few more ornaments next year, and make more of a point to adjust those branches to appear a bit more random. I will say, my 7 month old kitten scaled this tree bottom-to-top repeatedly. Argh! Guess I'm glad it wasn't real or it would've made far more of a mess, but I think her scaling the tree bent some of the branches close to the base. Every branch is attached to the tree at about the same angle and as I put this tree away I noticed a few (maybe 2-3) individual branches that appeared to be bent beyond the others. I didn't bother with it as I put the tree into storage for the year but am hoping to fix these when I set it up next year. Not sure yet if this damage is something I can rectify, but again with all the ornaments on, it's not very noticeable. And hopefully my kitten will have out-grown her insane tree-climbing phase by next year. This tree did take about 2 weeks to arrive - even ordering it as a Prime customer, and of course I didn't decide to go artificial until early December so it was a bit of a bummer putting our tree up just a couple of days before Christmas. But obviously that's just a 1x issue, I love that next year I can put this up the day after Thanksgiving if I want. And leave it up through New Years without needles everywhere!

Great artificial tree! For me this is far and away the nicest unlit tree I’ve seen. I didn’t want to deal with a pre-lit tree with sections going dark within a few years or remotes that didn’t work properly. This tree has a beautiful natural shape and is very open allowing ornaments to hang freely rather than laying against the branches. It reminds me of the noble firs we used to get when I was a kid. The center post has a natural looking covering but when you are close to the tree, if you are looking, you can see the wire where the branches extend from the center. Once the tree is decorated it is barely noticeable. The 7.5 ft height is perfect, the discounted price was great and I couldn’t be happier with this tree.

I've been wanting a realistic looking sparse tree for a number of years and I finally settled on this one. It is a nice tree, it looks realistic and it decorates up quite well. I love the overall look, but there are few things I personally hate that may help with your purchase decision. 1). The top of the tree isn't sparse, it is pretty much nonexistent. I was reluctant to order it for this reason. There are very few branches and it is a challenge to put lights one it, very hard to find a tree topper that works and awful to decorate because it's all the flimsy plastic branches. 2). The whole tree is hinged with the exception of the top. I despise this design style because it is hard to put lights on. Mine arrived and several branches were wobbly and there is no way to tighten the branches. 3). It has the molded plastic tips on the end of the branches. They look realistic enough but they could actually spring for wire in all the branches, including each top, not just the center of the branch. The tips all droop and there is no way to adjust or correct them and they are not strong enough to hold a tiny tin icicle or mini blown glass bauble. 4). The interior of the tree is a combination of cheap brown pine needle type wrapping and bare green wire branches. Apparently this is what separates a high end tree from this one. It takes planning and lots of ornaments to fill this tree in so that the hideous interior doesn't show. I have a new cat, so I had to deal with bare because I have no where near as many ornaments as I normally use and none of my antique blown glass ornaments are on the tree. I think if I was able to cover more of the interior branches the tree would look much better. Overall, I still think it was a good purchase, especially since I got it on sale. It was about the price of one really nice real tree when I bought it. I was able to put on 1300 micro fairy lights so it really glistens and the shape makes it look fairly real.

We grew our own xmas trees for 30+ years but finally decided to get an artificial .. this one has lots of space and has a natural growth feel to it. Assembled easily and we put on the lights so they could be left on when the tree was tkaen down.

We’ve gotten a real tree for past twenty years. The last few we had a terrible time getting them to last more than two weeks — we watered every morning and evening, gave fresh cut, ran humidifier — all the recommended things to do. I spent the week of Christmas worried about it drying up and turning brown or god forbid, catching on fire. Decided I wanted to eliminate that worry this year. Shopped many websites and social media. Read hundreds of reviews on multiple sites. Most complaints about trees are about the lights. Decided to go with unlit because of that. Really like to use hanging glass ornaments that have space to hang freely so that eliminated all the dense triangle trees . (Majority available fit that category.) Found this tree and loved the shape but Amazon had it marked as a frequently returned item which made me hesitate for a few days. Reviews seemed to all be either 5 stars or 1 star. Price went down to $163 and included an Amazon smart plug and Amazon Echo Pop for free. So took a gamble. Y’all, this tree is awesome when you go into it with proper expectations. Yes, there are two types of branches and color ranges from a dark to a light green. Yes the center pole is wrapped in a light brown fluffy tinsel type material unlike anything I’ve ever seen on anyone else’s tree. Yes, it looks scraggly when you take it out of the box instead of immediately looking fluffed like a certain currently viral tree. And yes, I spent around an hour spreading branches while watching Christmas Vacation. But end result is great. It looks like an actual tree shaped tree. It has bare spots that allow ornaments to shine. It straddles a line between Victorian/Farmhouse/Scandinavian and it’s super hard to find anything this reasonably priced that does the same. Would look great with Icicles if that’s your thing. I don’t think it will fool anyone who gets within ten feet of it but it still looks great and really fits our vibe. As long as we get two years out of it we’ll be ahead monetarily of buying real trees. And way lower fire risk. I touched every single branch when fluffing and had nothing break off. Two tiny individual needles were under the tree when I was finished. This tree had a tag with a July 2023 manufacturing date. I wonder if those who had breakage issues somehow received much older trees that had been stored without climate control or something. This was brand new with all tags and intact packaging.

Growing up in Vermont where we had spruce trees and my favorite childhood memories of bringing home a fresh tree with my next older brother and younger sister, I wanted a tree that looked like one that we would find in the hills near home. This tree was it! I bought the unlit one because I have both colorful and warm white mini bulbs and who knows? This year, I am testing the white lights and maybe another year, I will try the colored lights. It's beautiful and looks so realistic! Having a real tree for al 60 plus years, this would be the only style tree I'd buy. The Nordic spruce tree is absolutely beautiful, will hold my ornaments large and small and is amazingly lifelike. It is giving me some great memories of driving on snowy back roads looking for a perfect tree with two people that I love very much!

Beautiful tree and looks so real! I’m blown away. My first year with an artificial tree and I couldn’t be happier. Easy to put up and the decorations stay on. I purchased the 7’5”. Every year we would set out early to pick out the perfect tree. Fresh cut trees were getting harder to find and getting so expensive. This tree is perfect in my opinion. Looks so realistic without the worry of drying out and needles everywhere. I had my eye on another less expensive tree, but this one came up on sale. So happy I picked this one! The reviews were a big factor in choosing this one. They were spot on! It’s a gorgeous tree!

Me gustó mucho el árbol, se ve real. Muy alto para mi departamento, pero nada que una sierra no pudiera solucionar jaja

This cost so much money, but looks so, so beautiful that I've decided to leave it up sans ornaments all year long. Like bringing the outside in.

A nosotros nos encanta el estilo country y este árbol nos lo da totalmente. Parece como uno noble natural y la altura es ideal. Las puntas de las ramas cambian de textura y podrías pensar que se ve mal y al contrario, es lo que le da el toque real. De fácil ensamblaje y buena calidad. Llegó en perfectas condiciones y a buen tiempo. Excelente compra.

A really very pretty tree, & way more realistic than most artificial Christmas trees available. Set up was quick, but fluffing out the branches took some time (worth it for the overall effect, though). This tree made a beautiful centrepiece for my living room this Christmas.
