Trim and tall, this is great for a small area. But this skinny tree sadly has a wobbly bottom.

I tried the best fake Christmas trees from Dunelm to Argos & Wilko… winner was best value & just like a natural spruce

Here, we give our verdicts on the best 6ft pre-lit artificial trees on the high street costing £50 or less, giving each a star rating out of five.

Cute touches such as a dusting of fake snow and pine cones give it that Scandi forest feel, which is exactly what you want.

Argos

Habitat Blue Oscar

£50

★★★★★

It is a breeze to assemble – it took two minutes to get it up and ready to decorate.

ASDA

White ED tree

£40

★★★★☆

It was easy to put up but does not look healthy. You can tell it’s artificial and it lacks depth.

Wilko

Everglow LED

£39

★☆☆☆☆

A good width, it is full with fabulous foliage and plenty of bushy branches.

Amazon

Shatchi

£45.99

★★★★☆

With plenty of branches and a good shape, this is nicely full when it’s lit with decorations on.

Robert Dyas

Alberta Pine Warm White LEDs

£49.99

★★★☆☆

Trim and tall, this is great for a small area. But this skinny tree sadly has a wobbly bottom.

Dunelm

110 LED Pop Up

£50

★★☆☆☆
