This is a great video. We need a new tree this year. You can tell so much more from this than just looking on BH’s website. The sheen doesn’t bother me at all. Our last real tree was a Fraser and the underside of the needles had a beautiful sheen. It just glowed.
Thank you for doing this video! Very sweet of you to review all the branches for us before we make a purchase. I’m still trying to decide against the Vermont white spruce or the balsam Hill balsam fur?
Great video! This was super helpful. It's so hard to really get a good idea of what you are getting when shopping online. I don't like sheen either, especially at that price point!
Thanks for posting! I really agree with you on liking a Matte finish better. I'm looking for a 12' tree, so I'm down to the Frazer or Blue Spruce. You mentioned the branches are different on the Flip Blue Spruce vs. Standard Blue Spruce. Are the needles the same?
Thanks for the great video. One question though... you said you went with a different manufacturer, but i don't think you told us what company or what tree you bought. I would love to know what you decided on, and why you chose that one. Thanks!
I have a separate video on the tree I chose instead of going with the Balsam Hill brand. It was from Home Depot. It was a viral sensation last year and I found the updated version this year in October. They say no stock online for in store and shipping but they had them at the store. It was the grand dutchess fir.
@@KristyU2178Are you totally happy with it and feel the quality is just as good? I still have not picked a tree and I am having the hardest time deciding on what to do… I feel I’ll just get a real tree this year since I’ve waited so late.
I decided I wanted to buy an unlit tree since I hear of so many issues or short life span for lit trees, so it left my top three to be European Fir, Sanibel Spruce, and Balsam Fir (love the Aspen Fir but could never afford it). I love how real the European Fir looks, but the big bell shape of it throws me off. If I could mix these three together I feel I’d be much better off. Any advice lol?

Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for, for forever, and could not find anywhere else. Finally stumbled across it
This is awesome! If I ever get to get a Balsim Hill tree, I’m so thankful you made this video.
Thanks for taking the time to do a video, very helpful!!!

Thanks very much! This saved me some time and money.
I'm glad it helped!
Thank you. Very helpful!
You're welcome! I hope it helped you make a decision.
@ it definitely did! I got a stunning European Fir 👌🏼
Thank you for making this video... really helpful! Which tree did you end up buying in the end? I'm considering the European fir or Sanibel spruce

Thank you! This made me rethink what I was planning to buy from Balsam Hill! Which tree did you end up getting? Did you say it was from Home Depot?
@JenniAraiJensen yes. The grand duchess fir from home depot. I have a video about this tree. It's beautiful with lights.
