If you’re limited on space, don’t skip the tree this year–just skip half of the tree with a half Christmas tree. These trees sit flat against the wall or are even wall-mounted which greatly reduces their footprint. If you’ve got your hopes on a full tree, a pencil Christmas tree is another way to save space.
This Cashmere Wall Christmas Tree by Home Heritage is available in seven-foot and five-foot tall heights. At only 19 inches wide at seven feet and 14 inches wide at five feet, this half pencil tree and perfect for tight spaces.
I like that it has a combination of traditional bottle brush needles and longer, rustic textured needles.This half tree comes with a hinged metal stand with three feet, but it’s best to anchor the tree to the wall, even with just a nail and some wire or string to make sure it won’t flop over on you, especially if you want to load it down with ornaments.
The five-foot tall version comes with 285 branch tips and is pre-lit with 100 white LED lights. The seven-foot tall version has 552 branch tips and 150 LED lights.
The tapered branches on the Vickerman Westbrook Half Tree have a much more natural, realistic look to it like you see on evergreen trees in the wild.
It comes with a 10-year limited warranty so you can be sure you’ll be using this for years to come. It comes in three different sizes as well as lit and unlit.
The 6.5-foot tree is 52 inches wide at the base and has 957 branch tips which is full even compared to some full-size trees. If you get the tree pre-lit, it comes with 400 clear lights.
Their 7.5 feet tall (currently out of stock) has a width of 60 inches leaving you plenty of branches for ornaments with its 1,201 branch tips. The pre-lit version has 500 clear lights.
It even comes in a whopping nine-foot version with 1,793 branch tips and a base width of 70 inches. The lit option has 750 clear lights pre-strung on this half Christmas tree.
Because it’s so full, it’s a nice choice if you’re looking for a tree that will work with your Christmas pickle ornament.
Embrace the natural beauty of the forest and nature with this Flat Back Montreal Mountain Pine by Nearly Natural. I love pinecones in my holiday trees but they’re always falling down with the smallest bump so here we have a great half tree already decorated with pinecones and red berries.
I like that the pinecones are longer, giving the tree a unique, more realistic look than the spikier, shorter pinecones we’re used to seeing. It’s also pre-lit so between the lights, cones, and berries, it’s pretty enough to leave as is if you’re not huge on decorating.
And just a word of caution when you’re buying: be sure to read reviews carefully. I can’t tell you how many one-star reviews I’ve seen where the buyer is outraged that they were only sent half a tree.
This five-foot tree is nice and compact at only 14 inches in diameter. It’s pre-decorated with heavy realistic flocking, pine cones, and 100 white LED lights. It comes with a sturdy metal half-stand and a power cord with a convenient pedal switch for the lights.
If you’re looking for something smaller and a bit more eye-catching, this Bright Pink Three-Foot Tree from Lee fits the bill and fits into small spaces.
While it has a decorative, tiered base, this tree is meant to hang and has a convenient loop at the very top of the tree for attaching to your wall or front door. It can still look like it’s standing up on the floor or table, but attaching it to the wall will give you better stability.
Lee Christmas trees are handmade in the United States. The bottlebrush needles and wire branches have a true vintage feel. It’s adorably bright pink which would lovely with metallic finish decorations.

If you love that rustic, alpine-style tree but don’t have the room, this Flat Back Minnesota Tree saves loads of space.
The Minnesota has a thick, wooden trunk that’s meant to be visible. (Why hide something that looks realistic?) I love this style of tree because there’s less annoyance of trying to cover up the pole and it looks like something you’d find in a cozy ski lodge.
The half tree is six-feet and is pre-lit with 200 clear bulbs.
The six-foot tree has 463 branch tips which isn’t the highest on the list, but keep in mind that’s purposefully the style of alpine trees.
The ultimate space-saving tree, this Half Pencil Christmas Tree may be seven feet tall but it’s only 16 inches wide and 12 inches deep. That’s narrow. My chihuahua-mix is bigger across than this tree. It’s perfect for those tight areas when you don’t want to sacrifice a tall tree with room for your ornaments.
The “needles” are designed to be especially flame-retardant and it’s pre-lit with 150 warm white lights. It breaks down into three sections for storage.
