Determine where in your home you want to display your tree. Then use this simple formula to choose the right height:
| Item | Example | |
| Height = | room height | 8 ft |
| minus | tree toppers ornaments | 1 ft |
| minus | height added by the tree stand | 0.5 ft |
| minus | height of any base or table that you put under the stand | 0 |
| plus | bottom of tree removed | 0.5 ft |
| = | ||
| Equals | height of tree to buy at the farm = | 7 ft |
