The Norway Spruce in the 5–6ft size is a wonderful choice if you want that traditional Christmas look without going too big. Perfect for outdoor spaces like porches, garden paths, or community displays, this tree brings all the charm of Christmas with its spiky light-green needles and strong festive fragrance. For many families, it’s the scent of a Norway Spruce that instantly says, “It’s Christmas.”

We like to be clear: Norway Spruce trees shed their needles faster than Premium Nordman Fir. That’s why we recommend them for outdoor use, where the cooler air helps them keep fresher for longer. Indoors they can still be used, but if you want a low-maintenance option that drops fewer needles, the Nordman Fir is the safer bet. Outdoors, however, the Norway Spruce thrives, especially if watered regularly.

For this size tree, we recommend the Cinco 6 Tree Stand (up to 6ft). This stand is sturdy, simple to use, and includes a water reservoir to help your tree stay hydrated. The central spike grips the trunk securely, while the screw bolts make sure the tree stands tall and straight. We use Cinco stands at our own retail sites, so we know they’re reliable year after year.

Every tree is measured from trunk base to tip. Norway Spruce often has a taller leader at the top, which means a 6ft tree may be closer to 5ft of branches and 1ft of tip. If you want a fuller look, it’s worth considering ordering a size up. Not sure which to go for? Just Contact us or call 07772192461 or 07885730150 and our team will guide you through it.

Our Delivery service covers Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Suffolk and Norfolk, so wherever you are in these counties, we can bring your tree straight to your door. Customers often order wreaths like our Fresh holly wreaths or Door bow - Delivered & Set Up alongside their tree for extra festive curb appeal. Others add personalised ornaments such as the Decoration family name or message or fun extras like the Elf in your Tree, which is hidden in the branches and revealed when the netting comes off — a magical surprise for children.

We’ve been supplying real Christmas trees for over 50 years, and our customers trust us because we focus on freshness and quality.
