Raxter green outdoor Christmas tree with metal stand (5ft)

Description

If you enjoy deciding every detail of your Christmas tree, a plain green starting point is wonderfully useful. This 5ft Raxter tree gives you a familiar tapered silhouette without choosing the lights, ornaments or colour scheme for you. Dress it with red ribbons for a traditional entrance, or keep it simple with a few outdoor lights and a generous bow.

The selected tree is green and approximately 153cm tall, with a spread of around 90cm. It comes with a metal stand and has no built-in lights. Its middle-sized proportions make it an option for a porch, covered seating area or a second festive display inside the house.

Make room for the whole tree

The height is easy to picture, but the spread matters just as much beside a doorway. Mark out roughly 90cm on the ground before settling on a position, and check that the door can open freely. Leave a clear walking route around the stand and any decorations extending beyond the branches.

The green foliage offers a neutral background for different decorating styles. You could repeat the colours of a nearby wreath, use a few larger ornaments that can be seen from the path, or leave the lower branches relatively plain where they sit close to a wall.

Give the branches time to settle

Assembly is straightforward, but arranging the foliage is the part that creates the finished shape. Open the branches gradually, working around the tree rather than concentrating on the front first. Separating the smaller tips helps soften gaps and gives ornaments more places to sit.

Customers commonly appreciate the easy setup and the appearance once the branches have been arranged. A buyer of the green 5ft version was particularly pleased with the finished tree. This is a practical decorative base for your own ideas, so allow a little time for shaping before judging how it will look dressed.

Choose the finishing touches for its position

For an outdoor display, use decorations and any separate lights that are suitable for outdoor use. Keep the stand level, check its fixings during assembly and secure the tree for the conditions in your chosen spot. A sheltered entrance is easier to decorate successfully than an exposed corner where ornaments can catch the wind.

The unlit design also makes it easy to change the look next year. Swap a classic red-and-gold palette for white ribbons, natural-looking picks or a few oversized baubles without working around permanent lighting. Lights, ornaments and a decorative cover for the stand are not included. Other heights and a white colour option are available within the range, if a different scale or finish would suit your space better.
