Why Are Flocked Christmas Trees Becoming Popular?

7.5 ft Unlit Flocked Alaskan Christmas TreeFlocked Christmas trees are becoming quite popular for many different reasons. The snowy white backdrop is perfect for a theme, monochromatic color palette, or for a more simplistic decorative taste. Live flocked evergreens have long been a favorite for many people. However, artificial flocked Christmas trees are on the rise now. With a better application, the snowy white adornment is lasting longer and clinging better to the branches, making using this evergreen a reality year after year. The one upkeep suggestion is to keep it wrapped or boxed up when not in use. Try to keep it in an area that is cool and dry to avoid premature yellowing of the flocking.

People enjoy bringing in this snowy looking evergreen and using it as a focal point to their holiday décor. Most flocking has some kind of glitter or mica in it to give it a shimmering effect. This goes well with whatever lighting is chosen as the illumination bounces off of the white. When kept in good condition, these can be a staple for years to come. Some people use it as their only tree and place their treasured ornaments and bright, colorful lights upon it. Others purchase several and use them in different rooms as themed trees. The theme may be old Christmas with postcards from long ago, gold, muted ribbon, garland and warm white lights. Or it may have a country cottage feel with sprigs of berries, cranberry garland, rustic bells and stars, wooden ornaments and soft lights.  No matter what theme is preferred, the flocking will provide the perfect backdrop.

Why Purchase Fake Christmas Trees Over Living Ones?

The reasons are as numerous as the artificial evergreens themselves. It can be because someone in the family is highly allergic to real trees. And rather than going without an evergreen year after year, they purchase an artificial version.

Another reason is that they are a cleaner alternative to live versions. People who are environmentally conscience have long purchased living Christmas trees. However, this trend is on the decline as fake Christmas trees are looking more life-like each year. They are also made with fewer pollutants, and their life span is significantly longer, lasting many years with proper care.

People who prefer less mess are choosing artificial evergreens as well. There is no worry about sap and needles littering the flooring, or overwatering creating a cesspool of mold under the carpet. With artificial trees, it is simple to set them up and take them down. They can then be stored in a bag, a plastic tote bin or a box, and a quick vacuuming will pick up the few “needles” left behind.

Lastly, for decorators, artificial evergreens are the best choice. These trees can easily bear the burden of heavy ornaments and decoration far easier than their live counterparts. There is no worry about sagging limbs or shifting of the decorations as the tree ages. Artificial branches can maintain their integrity for years to come.
