BPIL snow-flocked slim Christmas tree (5ft)

Description

Snowy branches without a broad footprint

This BPIL tree brings the look of snowy evergreen branches into a room in a manageable 5ft size. Its slim outline is useful where a broad tree would crowd a seating area, while the flocked finish gives it a festive presence even before you have started decorating. There is still room for a few special baubles to become the focus.

The bottom branches spread to approximately 24 inches, or 61cm. It is worth measuring that space at floor level rather than relying on the word slim alone. Compared with very narrow pencil trees, this gives a little more room around the lower branches for decorations and a fuller outline in a modest corner.

White tips, green foliage and your own lights

The artificial foliage is made from PVC and has a snowy flocked finish. White highlights soften the green and give plain glass, wood or metallic ornaments something to stand against. The tree is supplied unlit, so you can decide whether the finished effect should be a gentle glow or a brighter, colourful display.

If you prefer a quiet look, start with one set of fairy lights and a small number of ornaments. The flocking already provides much of the decoration. Rich burgundy ribbon or warm gold baubles could make it feel traditional, whereas pale pink, clear glass and silver would take it in a softer direction.

What to expect while putting it up

A stand is included and the tree needs assembling and shaping before use. Spread out the branches gradually, looking for an even outline rather than rushing to hang the first bauble. Lightweight decorations are a sensible starting point on a slim tree, particularly towards the ends of the branches.

Owners of the 5ft version have praised its appearance and suitability for smaller rooms. Feedback also makes clear that the flocking can shed during handling, and opinions about the steadiness of the base vary. Put down a sheet while you assemble it, check the stand carefully and allow for a tidy-up once the branches are arranged.

A comfortable fit for a smaller Christmas

At approximately 150cm high, this version is easy to picture beside a sideboard or in a bedroom where a taller tree might feel overwhelming. Leave enough clearance for a topper, and avoid squeezing the foliage so tightly against furniture that one side becomes flattened. A little space around it will let the outline show.

For packing away, take the decorations off first and gently bring the branches in towards the trunk. Keep it dry and avoid pressing heavy boxes onto the flocked tips. Other sizes are available in the range; this product is the 5ft tree with its stand, ready for indoor decorating in your own style.
