– They are the more environmentally sound solution since you can use these year after year. Remember, there are some people who get ten plus years out of their trees as long as they are stored and treated properly.
– They are easier to put up than a live tree, since everything hooks together and viola it is ready to be decorated. There is not setting up the tree stand with water, ensuring that the tree always has water and the like.
– It is the better option for those who want to minimize cleaning during this time of the year.

– Artificial trees can give you an even bigger variety of tree. You will find those options that have flocking to copy the feel of snow, those that already have lights on the tree, those that are white and other colors. You simply have more options with artificial.
