In a room with a nine or ten foot ceiling, a seven foot tree looks small and a full profile nine footer takes four feet of floor. Most people end up with a tree that is either lost or in the way.

This one fills the height and barely touches the floor: 1.9 ft across on a 22 inch stand. Against a staircase or a tall window it reads as a proper nine foot tree, with 400 warm white beads carrying the light the whole way up.

Nine feet against six

The six foot figure beside it is the useful part: the tip stands three feet above a tall adult. The spread is 1.9 FT on a 22 inch stand, and a cord length of 4.9 ft is marked. Guides advise a foot of clear air above the tree, so a ten foot ceiling is the sensible target.

860 tips at this height

Filling nine feet of narrow frame takes density, and 860 tips is what does it. The close up shows the needles in a natural evergreen tone rather than the blue green that cheap trees often use, with the bulbs set back among them.

Lights on, lights off

The pair shows both states. With 400 beads running the full nine feet the light is even from base to tip, which is the thing that fails on tall trees strung by hand. Unlit, the foliage still holds a proper pencil outline.

Where nine feet belongs

Beside a tall window or a staircase is where this shape earns its money. It uses the full height of the room and leaves the floor for furniture, which is exactly what a full profile tree of the same height cannot do.

Even coverage over nine feet, which is where hand strung trees usually fail.

Enough density to keep a nine foot pencil looking bushy rather than bare.

What ceiling height do I need for a nine foot tree?

About ten feet. Guides advise keeping roughly twelve inches of clear air above the tip, and that is before you add a topper. Measure to the ceiling itself, not to a beam or a light fitting.

How do I reach the top to decorate it?

With a step ladder, and it is easier to decorate each section as you build the tree rather than after. Two pairs of gloves come with it for handling the tips.

Is the cord long enough?

The drawing marks 4.9 ft, which is short for a tree this tall. Plan on an extension lead rated for the load, and follow Health Canada's advice about not overloading a single outlet.

Will a nine foot pencil tree tip over?

It stands on a 22 inch folding metal stand, wider than the stands on the shorter sizes in this family. Keep it out of a doorway or a walkway and away from where a pet could knock the base.
