Artificial trees from Homebase
In the past, artificial Christmas trees could often be a pale imitation of the real thing – just a few sad, wiry branches in a pot. But these days? You’d struggle to tell them apart. What’s more, despite often being slightly more expensive, artificial trees can be reused year after year, saving you a bundle in the long run.
Our artificial Christmas trees are packed with cutting-edge tree technology, but why should you pick one over a real tree? Let us tell you…

Before buying an artificial tree
Before you go out and buy an artificial Christmas tree, we recommend you remember the four ‘S’s.
The four ‘S’s
Space: One of the joys of artificial trees is being able to pick the exact size and shape to fit your home – so size up your space first.
Style: From the style of foliage to colour, lighting and decorations, artificial trees allow you to pick our perfect style, right down to the last detail.
Sensitivity: An allergy to pollen on real Christmas trees, also called Christmas Tree Syndrome, has been a growing concern in homes across the UK since 2018 – making artificial trees the best hypoallergenic choice.
Simplicity: Trimming, watering and disposing of a real tree can be an enormous effort. With an artificial tree, it’s easy to put up and put down quickly – with disassembling branches that can be stored away in the loft ready for next year.
Types of artificial Christmas trees
