Here's a closer look at various types of artificial Christmas trees and the natural beauties they emulate.
Alpine Fir
The artificial Alpine Fir Christmas tree was crafted to resemble the real Alpine Fir, which is native to Washington State. The real Alpine Fir is known for its slender, pyramid-like shape and dense branches. Our artificial version captures this essence perfectly, offering a tree with a narrow profile that's ideal for smaller spaces.
