7ft Christmas Trees

7ft Christmas Trees

A 7ft Christmas tree, 2.1m to 2.2m tall, is one of the most popular heights in Ireland and the natural fit for a family living room or hallway with a standard ceiling. At 7 foot the choice that matters most is profile. Pencil and slim trees keep the footprint narrow: the Pencil Pine is a soft needle tree only 60cm in diameter with moulded pine needles on each branch end, and the Snowy Pencil Pine stands 220cm with flocked branches across 574 tips for a fresh fallen snow look, making a snowy 7ft Christmas tree that still fits a tight corner. The Killington Fir sits in the middle at 103cm wide, with 1,138 tips blending PE and PVC for a natural finish.

For a full traditional 7ft artificial Christmas tree, the Geneva Fir spreads to 126cm with 2,663 tips, 1,805 of them realistic PE, and assembles by slotting 3 sections together and letting the hinged branches drop into place. The Colorado Fir is wider again at 156cm, with 1,173 PVC tips in open, sparse branching that mimics a wild fir and gives every ornament room to hang; its maker suggests dressing a 7ft tree with 700 to 1,250 lights. The Ben Nevis Pine is denser, with 1,361 PE and PVC tips in a two-tone green, a 135cm girth, cones and berries built into the tips and flame retardant branches. Each of these models comes with a foldable or folding metal stand, and as artificial trees they don't shed needles or need watering.

7ft trees come from Everlands, with the Pencil Pine, Snowy Pencil Pine, Killington Fir and Geneva Fir, Classic Christmas, with the Colorado Fir and its 2-year warranty, and Festive, with the Ben Nevis Pine. Browse Slim/Pencil Christmas Trees and Snowy Christmas Trees by style, or compare 6ft Christmas Trees and 7.5ft Christmas Trees on either side of this height.

Christmas Decorations

Open-branched firs like the Colorado show off decorations best, so this is the height to build a proper bauble scheme. Start with Christmas Baubles in shatterproof silver, cover the folding stand with a skirt from Christmas Tree Skirts, and match the tree to the rest of the house with Christmas Garlands along the stairs and Christmas Wreaths on the door. Christmas Ornaments and Light Up Christmas Decorations round off the room.

Christmas Lights

The 700 to 1,250 light guide for a 7ft tree lines up neatly with the Premier Multi-Action Treebright 1000 and 1500 LED sets in Christmas Tree Lights, each with a timer. Pick Warm White Christmas Lights to complement snowy and frosted branches, or Cluster Christmas Lights for a denser sparkle on a full fir. Mains Powered Christmas Lights suit a tree that stays lit all evening, and Christmas Essentials has the plug-in timers and extension leads to tidy up the cabling.
