Best Norfolk pine garlands

Top pick: Afloral Real Touch Norfolk Pine Garland (60") — the most convincing Norfolk look of the bunch, with soft, wired "real touch" branches you can shape, and the strongest shopper rating here. It's unlit, so it suits a mantel, shelf or table where you'll add your own lights.

Who the others suit:

• True Touch Norfolk Pine (5 ft) — the best-known name in this style; a safe, easy pick that drapes well indoors or out.
• My Texas House Norfolk, 9 ft — for long runs like a stair rail or porch beam, and for anyone who'd rather add lights themselves.
• Gaukiv 9 ft prelit — battery-powered, so it works where there's no outlet; best for a quick, casual look.
• Lolsea 2-pack of 6 ft — two garlands for a matched pair of doorways or a double-sided mantel.
• Afloral 180" entry/staircase garland — the long, full statement piece for a staircase or entry.
• Light Up Norfolk Pine — if you want it lit and ready to hang straight out of the box.

Tip: Norfolk pine reads best when you fluff and fan the branches outward, and keep it out of direct sun and rain to hold its colour.
