Unsurprisingly, Home Depot has a very nice selection of real Christmas trees, although the majority of them are shorter than 6-ft. This 5- to 6-ft Douglas Fir is cut in Oregon, and is a bit more manageable than the taller versions while still having the fullness that you want in a Christmas tree.

If you have a tiny space but still want a real tree, Terrain should be the first place you check. Anthro’s sister store sells a range of live plants, including small Christmas trees that are perfect for placing on a tabletop. The Little Living Tree is a black spruce and it comes with string lights and a velvet ribbon for decoration.

Walmart sells a variety of faux Christmas trees (including colorful trees and even upside down options), but they also have a live tree option that’s worth checking out. This 5 ft. Black Hill spruce is sold exclusively on Walmart and shipped directly from a US farm — for free. Each tree is inspected and professionally shaped, so you can feel good about purchasing before seeing it in person.

They say you can buy anything on Amazon — well, now you can add real Christmas trees to that list! This gorgeous seven-footer is a hybrid Balsam and Fraser fir, resulting in a tree that has a strong fagrance, firm branches, more needles per branch, better needle retntion, and a stunning blueish tint. Freshly cut and hearvested in Quebec, it’s also hand sheared for a tree that’s good to go, from farm to doorstep.

For a unique spin on a traditional Christmas tree, Bloomscape’s got just the thing. A graceful, festive pick, its Norfolk Pine Tree is pre-potted (in a pot of your choice!) and comes with your choice of fairy lights for a tree that’ll be ready to display in minutes! Keep it well-watered and in a humid, sunny spot and you’ll have this tree around for many holiday seasons to come.
