So are those who travel out of town at Christmas. Initially, an artificial tree can be a big investment. However, the best come with a 25-year warranty. So, if you actually keep your tree that long, it will pay for itself many times over.

Flocked trees are hot.
There are also trees with pine cones on them for those who like an old-fashioned look. And a new Millennium tree that's flecked with silver needles. Colourful fibre optic trees are appealing to seniors who don't want to be bothered with decorating a tree. They're ideal for senior's homes and care facilities because there's one source of light in the bottom. While the fibre optic tree makes no pretense of looking real, most artificial trees are fashioned after the real thing.
