5 Foot Christmas Trees in Christmas Trees by Height(139)

How many ornaments can a 5-foot Christmas tree hold?

As a general rule of thumb, you can determine how many decoration pieces to put on your tree by multiplying its height by 12. For a 5-foot Christmas tree, you can fit up to 60 ornaments. More than 60 ornaments may be too much weight for your tree to hold up and may cause some of the branches to fall or become unsteady.

How long do artificial Christmas trees last?

You can have an artificial Christmas tree for six to 10 years, depending on how you care for it. To maximize its life, take down the tree carefully each year and store it in the box it originally came in or a box that fits the tree. After about six years, your tree will begin to show signs of wear and tear from regular use, and you may want to replace it.

How many strands of lights do I need for a 5-foot Christmas tree?

Some Christmas trees come pre-lit, so you don't have to worry about having the right amount of lights to fill your tree. However, if your lights go out or your tree is bare, you'll want to have 100 lights for every 1.5 feet of your tree. For a 5-foot Christmas tree, you'll need anywhere from 330 to 350 lights. You can always add more strands if desired.
