The Bottom Line

Balsam Hill is a company that's exclusively in business to make holiday trees, wreaths and garlands. And they do a superb job. The Crimson Harvest and other Balsam Hill wreaths and garlands are among the best-quality artificial holiday foilage I've ever seen or examined up-close.

The Crimson Harvest wreath is a beautiful, naturalistic-looking holiday wreath that will last for years and years. I paired the Crimson Harvest wreath with the California Bigcone Douglas Fir garland for a stunning entryway display. Check out the results in the wreath gallery.

Guide Review - Balsam Hill Crimson Harvest Wreath & Garland

In some parts of the world, wreaths are hung on every window and door of a home. As a Californian, I consider two to be pretty darn festive at my house, but in the other regions of the United States and Europe, wreaths adorning each window is a charming and classic look. Whether you use one wreath or a dozen, you want something that is beautiful, well-made, and will last for many seasons to come.

Balsam Hill's business is artificial holiday greenery: trees, garlands and wreaths. They know what they're doing, and customers have come back throughout the years to add to their collection. Whether you want a wreath for your house or as a gift for someone else's home, you can't go wrong with these fine quality products.

Balsam Hill's Crimson Harvest wreath, part of their Classics Collection, is a lovely accent piece for fall and winter decor. It's offered in unlit and pre-lit clear and Fresh Green™ light styles, depending on your preference and budget.

The garland I used is not the Crimson Harvest garland; it's the California Bigcone Douglas Fir from the Napa Christmas™ Signature Collection. The California Bigcone features long, soft True Needle® foliage in a rich dark green hue and is ebellished with large natural pinecones and pre-lit with clear lights.
