The height of the tree top decorations should also be noted. All these measurements should be considered while determining the height and width of the Christmas tree you are picking for your home.

Simple decorations make the Christmas tree look perfect. Artificial tree
- Pre-cut tree
Gone are the days when artificial trees were considered weak as compared to their real counterparts. With the increase in demand, competition and availability of beautiful real like readymade trees, artificial trees are herding the markets. The kind of Christmas tree whether fresh or artificial also depends upon the time for which you will be displaying your Christmas tree.
In case you want to display the Christmas tree for more than a week, than it’s recommended that you go for artificial tree, otherwise for such a long period a live tree can loose its freshness with all the embellishments around it. On the other hand pre cut tress have its own advantages. The basic advantage of pre cut trees is its convenience. If you choose to go for pre cut tree, the retailer will make a clean cut on the trunk and will usually wrap the tree in a plastic mesh. This makes it easier for the buyer to get the tree into the house and to set up the tree in the stand.
