Balsam Hill

At Balsam Hill ®, we are committed to creating the best Christmas trees on the market. Our founder, Thomas Harman, was inspired to start Balsam Hill ® by a family member who was allergic to live trees but wanted to create a festive atmosphere in his home during the holidays. When Thomas' search for a lifelike artificial Christmas tree came up empty-handed, our mission was born to develop the most realistic and luxurious artificial trees. To accomplish this mission, our designers carefully craft our trees to mimic nature using site visits and cuttings from live trees as their guides. Our trees are so realistic that we routinely have customers visit our seasonal retail locations and ask why we are selling real trees inside a store! Just how real are our trees? They are routinely used by set designers of popular TV shows and even have been known to fool one of America's most savvy TV hosts into commenting on air about the "live" trees on her set. They routinely grace the lobbies of fine hotels and embassies around the world, and are used in Macy's famous Santaland exhibit in New York City. Fine retailers rely on us throughout the spring and summer to provide gorgeous, lifelike trees as backdrops for their holiday photoshoots for their upcoming catalogs and advertisements. But don't take our word for it – we encourage you to listen to what Lester Holt and Ann Curry had to say about them on NBC's The Today Show. We have also been honored by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute whose expert panel named our BH Balsam Fir™ the "best overall" artificial Christmas tree. Most importantly, our customers express their satisfaction with the trees they have chosen to be a part of their annual holiday traditions.
