If you don’t know, please find out that there are some narrow-based artificial Christmas trees that can fit in very tight spaces. They are known as pencil trees and can be found in almost all artificial Christmas trees stores across the internet or offline. To give you only one example, a 7.5 foot tall tree can have a base as narrow as 34 inch only, which is fabulous, if we think that a real pine tree of the same height will have the lower branches spreading within an area of almost 100 inch diameter.

Pencil trees can be bought in various finishes, and there’s a very nice one that’s called the Mesabi flocked tree, which is usually available with multi color lights. Another unusual but cool option is the pencil white artificial tree, which is suitable for those of you who like the tree ornaments to stand out and get noticed by everybody.

Winter holidays are just over the corner, so once more we start thinking of changing the interior decor with a more festive one. The Christmas tree is still a beautiful tradition, appreciated by people of all ages. But something has changed over the years: more of us started to realize that cutting trees for such celebrations is not exactly the wisest way to behave with our planet’s resources. It takes more than ten years for a pine tree to reach the size of 7 foot and we cut it just like that and keep it in our living for two weeks, then throw it away.

This year, if you want to go green, a good idea for starting is to buy an artificial tree, which will serve you for many years from now. There are realistic Christmas trees models which look almost like the natural ones. You could hardly tell the difference, and thinking that we are also adding those lights and ornaments, it makes no sense to buy a real tree. For a really special celebration effect, you can also consider thinking out of the box and research some flocked Christmas trees, which come with the snow already on their branches and can be purchased prelit or unlit, as you wish.

What type of tree do you intend to buy, if any? I’m just curious.
