Artificial Christmas tree

Importance of Christmas tree:

It is the type of tree that is known for its decoration and creativity that’s why it’s known as the Christmas tree. The old artificial Christmas trees were in the structure and wooden & tree-shaped & also in the shape of a pyramid. The tree such as fir, pine & spruce is known as the x-mas tree because they are used as an x-mas tree; similar to the shape of leaves and branches relating to pine, fir etc other trees can be also used. This belief in decorating the Christmas tree is started as a custom in Germany. There is not any sort of specific to decorate the tree but the thing is to make it look more attractive and effective in the presence and it has to be eye-catching too.

In modern times the decoration is replaced by string lights while at that time Christians used candles to illuminate the tree. There is a lot of difference in x-mas celebrations of modern & that of old times. The artificial x-mas tree is manufactured & produced for the specific purpose of an x-mas tree. Modern trees are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Some of the rare x-mas trees are fibre-optic x-mas tree, aluminium x-mas tree & feather.

History of the artificial Christmas tree:

The first artificial x-mas tree was introduced & produced in Germany in the early nineteenth centuries. This tree was made by using goose and certain bird’s feathers & that was coloured (dyed) green & attached to the wired tree branches & then connected (wrapped) to the central rod that look like a trunk of the x-mas tree. To avoid deforestation (the cutting of trees due to human needs) so the Germans continued to make the feather trees. They were also becoming popular in the united states.

Culture:

This culture of putting & decorating the x-mas tree is nothing new. It is a usual symbol of holidays & became the essential part for those who celebrate the x-mas tree with full enthusiasm & joy. There’s a lot of change in the era of decorating the x-mas tree as per the beliefs & tradition. When the huge number of other artefacts became replaced by that of plastic & plasticised. The artificial one also come to a great extent and evolved in different choices as per the buyer demand & the craze of x-mas celebration can be depicted by the various types of artificial trees & choices available in the market. These days you can buy artificial Christmas Tree online.

Types of an Artificial Christmas Tree:

• Feathers ( x-mas tree):
  Artificial Christmas Tree are basically of German origin but became popular in the united states as well. They are made from goose feathers and dyed.  They ranged widely in size from five centimetres (two-inch) tree to as large as three centimetres (ninety-eight inch) trees were also sold in the stores at that time in the 1920s. The branches of the tree were tipped by using red berries which look like candle holders. The branches were separated in such a way to keep them distanced from the fire as the candles were also used near the branches. It used for starting the fire that enhances the sufficient space for the feasible ornamentation. As it also involved a trip to a tree so there is also a lack of shedding needles of the tip of the leaves.
• Aluminium (x-mas tree):
  These type of trees was produced in the United States & earlier in some regions of Chicago in the year 1958 and later where the trees were produced in the regions of Wisconsin. During that year the Charlie Brown x-mas aired & due to its negative portrayal of the aluminium x-mas tree its get a reduction in the x-mas tree sales.
• Plastic:  
  Mostly the artificial Christmas tree is made from PVC. Trees made from PVC are fire resistant but not fire retardant. Many of these plastic trees were made in china& exported to major regions of Germany & the United States. Plastic trees constitute a major role in the artificial x-mas tree because the content of the tree is PVC and its non-biodegradable so cannot degrade easily. It also causes harm to the environment.
• Other types of artificial trees:
  Trends get involved with the passage of time & various type of artificial x-mas tree is introduced in the market. The category of fibre optic tree also has two other variety which consisted of traditional x-mas tree & another type in which the whole tree is made of the fibre optic cable that’s why it is composed & illuminated entirely by light.

Production of the artificial x-mas tree: 
Most of the production of the artificial x-mas tree takes place in the Pearl River Delta area in China. The data reveals why China is considered a large manufacturer of over 79.7 million dollars. The promoters classified it as reusable, convenient & easily manageable as it doesn’t require daily maintenance & care to hydrate it daily & to cut, shape the leaves (needles) like we supposed to do in the natural x-mas tree of Pine & Spruce.

Benefits of using artificial Christmas tree:

As the tree is the centrepiece of the house so it’s important to choose among the artificial & the real ones. Some of the factors which depict why to choose an artificial tree:

• Cost:  Artificial tree can be used over and over and can be the great money saver of all time. Its cost is less than the real one & will work out more as it doesn’t get damaged or can be used over a long time.
• Appearances:  Natural tree have a lack of symmetry and to make the base for them is difficult & to accommodate it in a room is a quite large task. They are available in no. of shapes & sizes but we have to choose the right one to fit in the desired space.
• Longevity: The real tree will last for one season if we want to put it for a longer time a lot of care needed to be taken but in the case of artificial Christmas tree it’s not to be considered. They always look bright & fresh.
• Allergies:  So many people are also allergic to Real Christmas trees as the syndrome come to be known as the moulds grown on the tree. More than 50 different moulds found on the x-mas tree as in this case we don’t have to face this problem regarding this syndrome on Artificial Christmas Trees.
