What Is a Flip Tree® from Balsam Hill?
A Flip Tree® is a patented, easy-to-set-up Christmas tree designed to simplify assembly and storage. It features a hinged base with built-in wheels, allowing you to roll the tree into place and flip it upright without lifting heavy sections.
Do You Have to Fluff a Balsam Hill Flip Tree®?

Balsam Hill’s most realistic trees are crafted with our exclusive True Needle® technology, designed to replicate the colour, texture, and structure of real evergreen needles.
How Durable Are Flip Trees® Over Multiple Seasons?
Flip Trees® are built for long-term use, featuring a sturdy steel frame and premium construction that maintain their shape and stability for many Christmases. With proper setup, pack-down, and storage, your tree will look beautiful year after year.
Are There Any Special Care Tips for Maintaining Flip Trees®?
Yes. Always roll and store your Flip Tree® in its upright position using the built-in wheels, and cover it with the included storage bag to keep it free from dust. Avoid forcing the hinges or over-bending the branches, and gently fluff the foliage to preserve its fullness and beauty.
