I bought this as a gift for my daughter and her four children, when she realized that, since her older son has asthma, a live tree might not be a good idea.
They chose a "white" tree and I was skeptical being that green was all I ever had.
The tree is more snow-flocked and is very pretty; the only reason I didn't rate it a "5" is because at 6' (all that was available at the time), I thought it was small.
However, my daughter loves it and it is just right for where she placed it!
Again, the tree is very pretty and I would definitely recommend it to others!
