Christmas Tree Stands for Real Christmas Trees
Keep your real Christmas tree securely supported with a stand suited to its height and trunk size. The Christmas Tree Firm supplies Cinco water-holding Christmas tree stands and a traditional green metal stand, with options for trees ranging from smaller household sizes to larger indoor displays. Choose your stand when ordering your Christmas tree and arrange delivery in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire or another available service area.
A suitable stand is an important part of preparing for a real Christmas tree. It needs to support the tree, accommodate the trunk and, for a fresh-cut tree, provide a convenient way to maintain its water supply throughout the festive season. Our selection includes different sizes so you can choose according to the tree you intend to buy.
Which Christmas Tree Stand Do You Need?
Choose a stand based on your tree's height and trunk diameter, not its height alone. A stand must be suitable for the size of the tree and provide the support required for its intended position. For a cut Christmas tree, we recommend considering a water-holding stand so you can check and replenish the water supply regularly.
The table below provides a quick comparison of the stands available in our current range.

If you are unsure which stand will fit your tree, contact our team with its approximate height and trunk diameter before ordering. For a particularly large tree, please also discuss the intended display location and installation arrangements.
Cinco Water-Holding Christmas Tree Stands
We supply Cinco stands because they provide a practical foundation for real Christmas trees. Their durable plastic construction and water-holding design make them an option for customers who want to support a fresh-cut tree while keeping its trunk supplied with water.
Our available sizes cater for different tree heights, from the Cinco 8 for smaller and medium-sized household trees to the larger Cinco 12 for suitable taller trees. The correct choice depends on the dimensions of your actual tree, so always check the individual product specifications.
Why Choose a Water-Holding Stand?
A cut Christmas tree continues to take up water after it has been brought indoors. A water-holding stand allows you to maintain that supply without having to remove or reposition the tree.
Keep the stand topped up as required and position your tree away from radiators, fireplaces and other direct heat sources. Our Tree Care Tips guide explains more about looking after a fresh real Christmas tree during December.
Traditional Green Metal Christmas Tree Stand
Our traditional green metal stand offers an alternative to a plastic Christmas tree stand. It features adjustable screws that help secure the trunk in position, and its green finish works with the natural appearance of a real Christmas tree.
The current product listing identifies it as suitable for trees up to 6ft. Please check the stand's trunk capacity and other specifications before ordering, particularly if you are purchasing a tree near its maximum advertised height.
If you would like advice about the differences between the available stands, call our team with the type and size of tree you have chosen.
Choosing a Stand for a Nordmann Fir or Norway Spruce
Both Nordmann Fir and Norway Spruce trees need a suitable supporting stand when displayed as cut Christmas trees. The stand you choose should reflect the size and trunk dimensions of the individual tree rather than simply its species.
Our Premium Nordman Fir range includes trees in several heights, while our Norway Spruce Tree selection provides a traditional alternative. If you are buying a tree and stand together, check the advertised tree height and the specifications of your chosen stand before completing your order.
For example, a customer ordering the Premium Nordman Fir 6ft-7ft may wish to consider the Cinco 8 stand, provided the trunk dimensions are suitable. A customer choosing the Premium Nordman Fir 10ft-11ft should check the larger stand options carefully and contact us if assistance is required.
How to Prepare Your Christmas Tree Stand Before Delivery
Having your stand ready before your Christmas tree arrives makes it easier to position the tree and begin caring for it promptly.
Christmas Tree Stand Checklist
- Confirm the tree size: Check the height range of the Christmas tree you have ordered.
- Check the trunk capacity: Make sure the stand can accommodate the trunk diameter.
- Choose the display position: Place the tree where there is enough floor space and clearance around its branches.
- Prepare the water supply: If using a water-holding stand, follow its instructions for filling and maintaining the water reservoir.
- Check the tree is secure: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for positioning and securing the trunk before decorating.
We also offer an optional preparation service that can include a fresh cut to the base of your tree's trunk before delivery. Contact our team if you would like to add this service to your Christmas tree order.

Christmas Tree Stand FAQs
How do I know which Christmas tree stand will fit my tree?
Check the tree's height and trunk diameter against the stand's individual product specifications. Both measurements matter. If you are unsure, contact our team with the approximate dimensions of your tree before ordering.
Does a real Christmas tree need a water-holding stand?
A suitable water-holding stand helps a cut Christmas tree maintain its water supply indoors. Check the water level regularly and top it up when necessary, following the stand manufacturer's instructions.
Which stand should I consider for an 8ft Christmas tree?
Our Cinco 8 stand is advertised for trees up to 8ft, while the Cinco 10 is advertised for trees from 8ft to 10ft. Check the individual stand specifications, particularly trunk capacity, to determine which is suitable for your particular tree.
