What sets the Nordmann fir apart from other tree varieties is its balance: neither too full nor too narrow, neither too dark nor too light – a shape that harmonizes with every interior style. Its conical silhouette can be decorated evenly without branches giving way under the weight of baubles and string lights. As an artificial tree made from 100% PE injection molding, this quality is preserved for the long term – season after season.
What’s behind it
Four qualities that make the Nordmann fir a favorite Christmas tree – both real and artificial
Nordmann fir: Which size suits you?
-
Ceiling height from 200cm → 150cm tree
Ideal for smaller living rooms, offices, bedrooms, or apartments. Cozy, compact, and atmospheric.
-
Ceiling height from 210cm → 180cm tree
The most popular size – and for good reason. Fits in standard living rooms, dining rooms, and open-plan living areas, and looks balanced, festive, and classic.
-
Ceiling height from 240 cm → 210 cm tree
For high-ceilinged period apartments, houses, or prestigious rooms. A tree that makes an immediate impression – striking, grand, and festively impressive.
What makes a needle a real needle
With the Nordmann fir, it’s the needles that make the difference—long, soft, slightly curved downward, and shaded in several tones of green. This is exactly what ArtiTree replicates using the injection molding process. Each individual needle is pressed into a mold developed from real Nordmann fir branches. The result is not a flat sheet, not shiny plastic, but a three-dimensional needle with texture, curvature, and a surface that feels like the real thing. Anyone who runs a hand through the branches understands the difference immediately.
With or without lighting — the choice is yours
The ArtiTree Nordmann fir is optionally available with integrated LED lighting. No wrapping, no tangled cables – the string lights are worked directly into the branches and connected via the trunk. Simply assemble it, plug it in, and it lights up. If you prefer to choose a different string of lights each season, go for the version without lighting.
Comparison: Real vs. Artificial
Difference: Norway spruce & Nordmann fir

Norway spruce
To the productThe Nord spruce stands for a classic Christmas atmosphere – shorter needles, densely set branches, a lush silhouette, and the typical spruce profile that many remember from childhood. If you're looking for a natural-looking tree, this is the right choice.

Nordmann fir
View productThe Nordmann fir stands out with longer, soft needles, a natural tree shape, and an evenly dense fullness that looks great from every angle. It’s no wonder that it has been Germany’s best-selling Christmas tree variety for decades.
Care & Storage
The ArtiTree Nordmann fir is designed to require hardly any maintenance. After the season, simply disassemble it segment by segment, fold down the branches, and store it compactly in the included storage bag. Stored in a cool, dry place, the tree will be like new again next season – ready for the next Advent.
What matters when buying an artificial Nordmann fir tree
Anyone buying an artificial Nordmann fir should look for three things: the material, the stand, and the storage. At ArtiTree, all three are solved without compromise – 100% PE injection molding instead of a PVC mix, an FSC®-certified wooden stand for genuine stability, and a durable storage bag that keeps the tree safe through the summer months. If you also value integrated lighting, ArtiTree offers that too: optionally with an LED string of lights, remote control, timer, and individually replaceable LEDs.
FAQs / Frequently Asked Questions about artificial Christmas trees
What makes the Nordmann fir the most popular type of Christmas tree?
The Nordmann fir impresses with a harmoniously conical shape and long, soft, flat needles. Its balanced appearance suits every interior style – making it a perennial favorite.
Does an artificial Nordmann fir look different from a real one?
High-quality models with 100% PE injection molding, such as the ArtiTree Nordmann fir, come very close to the real thing. All needles are based on real Nordmann fir branches. Injection molding in particular gives texture, softness, and depth of color that cannot be achieved with conventional PVC trees.
What does 100% PE injection molding mean?
PE stands for polyethylene. In the injection molding process, a real branch is used as a template, a mold is created from it, and the material is pressed into it. The result is needles whose structure and texture look deceptively similar to the original branch. At ArtiTree, all needles are based on a real Nordmann fir branch.
How is the ArtiTree Nordmann fir assembled?
The Nordmann fir is divided into sections that are assembled using a plug-in system. Then the branches and twigs are bent and fluffed from the inside out into the desired shape.
Is the Nordmann fir safe for children and pets?
Yes. The ArtiTree Nordmann fir is flame-retardant, tested for harmful substances, and odorless. This makes it safe for rooms where children and pets are present.
What is the difference between Nordmann fir and Norway spruce at ArtiTree?
The Nordmann fir has longer, softer needles and an innovative bending system in which the metal and rivets inside are not visible. The Norway spruce has slightly shorter needles and a slightly wider diameter. Both are made of 100% PE injection molding and come with an FSC® wooden stand and storage bag.
How long does an artificial Nordmann fir last?
When stored properly in the included storage bag, high-quality artificial trees can be used for many years. The ArtiTree Nordmann fir is designed for long-term use – the PE materials retain their shape and color.
Does the illuminated version have a timer?
Yes. The ArtiTree Nordmann fir with integrated string lights comes with a remote control that enables 8 different light modes and a timer. The LEDs are powered via a plug and can be replaced individually at any time.
