When only a huge Christmas tree will do, the Norway Spruce 12–13ft delivers in true festive style. Towering and traditional, this tree is best suited for outdoor spaces such as village greens, churchyards, town squares, school playgrounds, and large garden displays. With its iconic spiky needles, fresh light-green colour and unmistakable aroma, it’s everything people think of when they imagine a “classic” Christmas tree — just on a much grander scale.
We always make sure customers know that Norway Spruce drops its needles faster than Premium Nordman Fir, which is why this size is supplied strictly as an outdoor tree. In cooler outdoor conditions and with regular watering, the spruce holds its freshness beautifully throughout December. Indoors, however, it’s simply too large and not low-maintenance enough for most households.
Standing 12–13ft tall, this tree commands attention. It’s the type of tree that becomes a landmark for the season — the one families stop to take photos beside, the one that sets the scene for Christmas carols, and the one that tells everyone “the holidays are here.” The strong fragrance carries on the winter air, instantly creating that nostalgic festive atmosphere.
For this size, a heavy-duty stand is essential. While smaller spruces pair well with the Cinco 8 Tree Stand (up to 8ft), customers needing a sturdier base for a tree of this scale should speak with our team for options. Please Contact us or call 07885730150 or 07772192461 for advice on securing and displaying a tree this large safely. We can also discuss installation support if required — something many councils, schools, and businesses request when ordering a tree of this size.
Like all our trees, sizes are measured from the trunk base to the very top. Spruce trees have a long leader tip, so a 13ft tree may have 12ft of branches with a 1ft top. If you have the space, it’s often worth ordering slightly larger than you think you’ll need to get the fullest look for your display.
Our Delivery service operates across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Suffolk and Norfolk, and we’ve been trusted by councils and communities for over 50 years. Many customers order extras alongside their big spruce, such as Fresh holly wreaths for doorways, Door bow - Delivered & Set Up for entrances, and personalised Decoration family name or message ornaments for indoor trees at home. Families also love adding a surprise Elf in Your Tree, which is hidden among the branches of smaller indoor trees we deliver.
For advice on keeping your Norway Spruce looking its best, check out our Tree Care Tips. And if you’ve got a top trick or a photo of your spruce in pride of place, we’d love you to share it with us through Feedback or in the Customer trees gallery. Seeing these large trees lit up in towns and villages across the region is one of the highlights of our year.
The Norway Spruce 12–13ft is not just a Christmas tree — it’s a centrepiece for the season. Traditional, aromatic, and on a scale that makes people stop and smile, it’s the perfect choice when you want your display to be the talk of the town.
