Colors

It’s often noted that Henry Ford told customers of his Model T that they could have the car in any color they wanted as long as it was black. Well, the competition soon proved that variety was the spice of life. And today’s artificial trees are giving customers what they’ve asked for. Want a traditional full and beautiful green fir tree? You can have it. But if you want something a little bit different, your tree also comes in black, blue, silver, red, and hot, hot pink. Dreaming of a white Christmas? Then, a white artificial Christmas tree may be just what Santa ordered. And let’s not forget that you have multiple shades of realistic greens from which to choose.

Flocked, Frosted, or Realistic

Do you like your trees covered in fresh snow? Then, that beautiful flocked tree covered in white realistic snow is going to light up your face every time you sneak a glance at it in your home. Maybe, just a touch of frost is your preference. Then, a frosted tree is yours. And if you’re more traditional, you can buy a beautiful, but bare, realistic tree and add your choice of decorations from the ground up.

Size and Shape

Artificial trees start at tabletop models of about 18 inches and can range from about 4 feet to over 30 feet for specially ordered trees. Most fall within the 7- to 9-foot range. Yours can be a tall and slim Christmas tree or short and wide. No matter what kind of a space constraint you’re facing, or how large of a space you need to fill, you can find a tree that’s just right for you. Would you rather have a spacious tree to share with the neighborhood? Then, an outdoor Christmas tree is still another artificial option you can consider.

Pre-Lit vs. Unlit

Say you’re tired of stringing lights across your tree year after year? No problem. Today, you can buy your tree already pre-lit. Pre-lit trees are one of the most popular types of artificial trees. You also have choices about what the lights on your pre-lit tree should look like. They can be all one color, a mixture of colors, or clear lights – just as if you had strung them yourself. An added benefit is that LED lights are renowned for keeping the lid on the electric bill throughout the Christmas season. ChristmasTreeForMe.com carries an extensive selection of top-quality pre-lit artificial trees.

Tabletop artificial trees also come in pre-lit varieties. The lights on these tend to be fiber optic.

OK, so you like stringing your own lights. Then, an unlit tree is your tree of choice, and they come in just as many varieties of styles, sizes, and shapes as their pre-lit cousins.

Tips for Selecting the Best Artificial Christmas Tree for You

Artificial trees save money. Buy the best tree you can afford. A good tree can last and look beautiful for 20 years. Most are covered by a warranty for at least 10 years. Your initial investment is higher than for a live tree, but over the life of your artificial tree, you will save money many times over.

What to look for:

• Know how much space you’re working with, and then respect it. Don’t go out and buy a tree that’s much too large for the space you have. Measure the height and width of the area before you go shopping. Remember to measure from the ceiling to the floor. You want to have space for that crowning ornament that sets atop your tree.

• To get a full looking tree, select one that contains a lot of branches. Look for at least a couple of dozen branches. Tree branches come in two types: hinged and unhinged. Hinged branches are attached permanently to the tree. This can make them more convenient because they don’t have to be dismantled and reattached every year. However, you pay for this convenience. The video below shows how to attach large unhinged branches.

• Next, examine the needles. Find out what material they are made from. The highest quality needles are made from PVC and PE plastics. PE plastic branch tips tend to look more realistic than PVC plastic tips, and prices reflect this. Remember, you’re buying a product that can last up to 20 years, and high quality needles are an important part of having a tree that will still look beautiful throughout its life.

• Look for a metal stand with rubber feet to protect your floor. This type of stand will also last longer.

• Buy good quality and expect your tree to last 10-20 years. Look for a warranty that matches that life expectancy. With artificial trees, expect to pay may for higher quality. Higher quality trees should be covered by longer term warranties. When you pay more, look for warranties that cover at least 10 years. Protect your investment.
