6 FT Artificial Christmas Tree, Unlit Hinged Spruce with 721 PE and PVC Tips and Metal Base

Cheap artificial foliage uses one leaf shape in one green. From across a room the whole tree reads as a single flat block of colour, which is the thing that tells you it is not real long before you get close.

This one mixes two leaf types and two shades: dark and light green PE leaves for the outer needles, verdant PVC leaves filling in behind. The variation is what gives the foliage depth rather than a flat surface.

Six feet, and modest width

Six feet tall on a 3.3 foot spread, with a 20 inch base. That is a slightly narrower profile than the usual full shape, which makes it easier to place. Sizing guides pair a six or seven foot tree with a standard eight foot ceiling, leaving about a foot above the tip for a topper.

Two leaves, two greens

The magnified samples do the work here. Mixed PE leaves in dark and light green on top, verdant PVC leaves underneath. Four claims run across the panel: flame retardant, no odour, non-allergenic and anti-fading. The count is 721 tips on this size.

The hinge and the base

Two insets. The hinged structure where each branch meets the pole, which lets them spread on their own as a section is raised. And the foldable crossed metal base, 20 inches across with anti-slip foot pads. The tree splits into three sections and weighs 15.5 pounds in total.

Counted by the manufacturer for the 6 ft model, across two leaf types.

Dark and light green PE leaves with verdant PVC leaves behind them, mixed rather than layered.

Branches drop into place as each section is raised, so setup is stacking rather than sorting.

Light enough for one person to carry, build and put away without help.

Nothing wired in, so the colour and the density of the lights are entirely your choice.

Six feet leaves the most room for a topper in an ordinary room, and a 3.3 foot spread fits most corners.

No factory string, so the colour and the amount are yours, and a failed set never means a failed tree.

Fifteen and a half pounds in three hinged sections is a job for one, including carrying it up a stairwell.

What we stand behind

• The 721 tip count, the 6 ft by 3.3 ft size, the 20 in base, the three sections and the 15.5 lb weight all come from the manufacturer's own specification list.
• The tip count is repeated independently on the maker's own appearance panel.
• The maker's photographs carry a note that the ornaments shown are not included.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Does it come with lights?

No, it is unlit. That leaves the colour, the count and the spacing to you, and it means a light string that fails in a later year can be replaced without replacing the tree.

What are the two leaf types?

Mixed PE leaves in dark and light green on the outer branches, and verdant PVC leaves filling in behind. The difference in shade and shape is what stops the foliage reading as one flat surface from across a room.

How much floor space does it need?

Three feet four inches across at the lowest branches, on a 20 inch base. Leave a clear circle of about three and a half feet. Sizing guides pair a six foot tree with a standard eight foot ceiling with room for a topper.

How do I make it look full?

Work from the bottom section up, pulling each branch away from the pole and bending the tips up and outward. With 721 tips that is a job of minutes rather than an evening, but it makes a real difference to how full the tree reads.
