Before you go shopping, get out your measuring tape and take some notes so you don't have to prune and trim and practically destroy a beautiful tree when you get home. Remember a tree out in the open will look much smaller than it will in your living room. So go prepared!
Measure the ceiling height for the space you have chosen for your tree. Most ceiling are 8 feet but you may have 9 feet ceilings. From this subtract the height of your tree topper ornament and the height of your tree stand. For most people 6 to 7 feet tall trees are ideal. You may also want to measure the approximate width if you are planning to put your tree in a corner and are tight on space. You may also notice while searching that most trees will have one side that is less full. This is a natural result of sunlight being weaker on the north facing side of all plants. This can help better fit a tree in a corner.
