Depends on the tree, Conor. My family's fake tree (which we've used about as long as I can remember) has two sections and a stand. The branches fold upwards for storage/space when we're done with it. It's impossible to put together wrong...

If using that type of tree, you'll also need to make sure the branches stay up. Wedges or fishing line tying the branches together and to the top rope would work for that.
