Getting a Christmas tree is usually the first step to preparing for the holiday; except you have carefully stored one away in your artic, or basement. Buying 7-foot artificial Christmas trees can be very tricky as they are small and come in different patterns. We have gathered a list of the features you should look out for when purchasing your 7-foot artificial Christmas tree.
The Shape
The first feature to look out for in 7-foot artificial Christmas trees is their shapes. Christmas trees are usually conical but the branches don’t always come straight cone shapes; this makes them look unnatural and fake. Ensure that they have straight, natural-looking branches. Even natural trees have varying branches with needles.
The Lights
For prelit 7-foot artificial Christmas trees, you should consider the number of lights on the tree. Incandescent lights are better compared LED lights. The lights should be stylishly wrapped around the tree branches. Also, the number of lights shouldn’t be more than 100. It could be more if the tree will be placed in hallways, sitting or dining rooms.
Save more energy with LED lights, get the warm felling your desire with Incandescent lights.
The Flocking
Since artificial Christmas trees are flocked to provide an illusion of a snow-covered tree, the flocking should appear real on the trees. The top of the branches should be left uncovered as it would be naturally. This gives the tree an original natural look and leaves room for Christmas ornamentals in case you choose to decorate your tree. Also, the flocking is stocked in piles on the branches, like a cloud of snow dust on natural trees.
