9 FT Pencil Alpine Christmas Tree, 3 FT Wide, 1345 Tips, 550 Dual Colour LEDs and 9 Modes

Buy nine feet of tree and you usually buy five feet of base with it. In a hallway, a stairwell or a narrow room the height is exactly what you want and the width is what stops you.

The alpine pencil silhouette holds the full nine feet on a 3 foot spread with a 26 inch stand under it. The eye is drawn upward rather than outward, and the floor around it stays walkable.

Nine feet up, three feet across

The drawing puts it beside a six foot figure so the height reads properly. Three feet of width at nine feet of height is roughly a third of the ratio a normal tree uses. The stand is 26 inches and the cord is 6 feet, so plan the position around an outlet. A pair of gloves comes with it.

Nine modes, every one named

The manufacturer lists them one by one, which is unusual and useful. Steady on warm white, steady on multi colour, slow twinkle on each, slow twinkle between the two, quick twinkle on each, then quicker and quickest twinkle between them. A green inline switch changes them and the adapter is marked UL certified.

Spruce foliage, close up

The magnified branch shows short, fine needles fanning out on several planes rather than lying flat, which is what gives an alpine spruce its texture. There are 1345 tips in total across lifelike PVC leaves and thicker PE ones, and 550 bulbs set among them.

Where a nine foot pencil goes

This is the point of the shape. In a stairwell or a double height entrance, height is the only thing that reads, and a wide tree would block the route through. Nine feet of tree occupying three feet of floor solves both problems at once.

About a third of the width a full profile tree of this height would need, on a 26 inch stand.

Warm white or multicolour on the same set, with modes that move between the two.

From steady on through slow, quick, quicker and quickest twinkle, each one spelled out by the maker.

Lifelike PVC leaves with thicker PE leaves mixed in, which is what fills a narrow column.

They drop into position as each section is raised, which matters more on a nine foot tree than a short one.

A 26 inch metal base, wider than the tree, which is what keeps a tall narrow column upright.

Stated by the manufacturer, on a 6 foot cord with an inline switch.

One pair, for spreading 1345 tips on a tree you will be reaching up into.

Height is the only thing that reads in a double height space, and three feet of width keeps the route clear.

A nine foot tree that does not eat selling floor, with nine light settings to suit a window display.

If the room has the height but not the floor, this is the only shape that gives you the full nine feet.

What we stand behind

• The 1345 tip count and the 550 LED count are printed on the manufacturer's own appearance panel.
• All nine lighting modes are named individually on the maker's lighting panel, so none had to be summarised.
• The 9 ft by 3 ft size, the 26 in stand and the 6 ft cord come from the maker's dimension drawing.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

What ceiling height do I need?

Eleven feet is comfortable, ten at a minimum. Sizing guides suggest about a foot between the tip and the ceiling for a topper, and the stand lifts the tree a few inches. Under a standard eight or nine foot ceiling this tree will not stand up.

Is three feet wide enough to look full?

At this height, yes, because 1345 tips on a narrow column pack closer together than the same count spread across five feet. It reads as a tall, deliberate spire rather than a thin cone. If you want a wide traditional shape, this is not that tree.

What are the nine modes?

The manufacturer names every one: steady on warm white, steady on multi colour, slow twinkle on warm white, slow twinkle on multi colour, slow twinkle between the two, quick twinkle on warm white, quick twinkle on multi colour, quicker twinkle between, and quickest twinkle between.

How long is the cord?

Six feet, stated on the dimension drawing. That is on the short side for a nine foot tree, so check the distance to the nearest outlet before choosing a spot, or plan for an extension lead.
