Potted Christmas trees are generally smaller in stature than our standard artificial trees and thanks to the lack of a large base, they use a relatively small amount of space. Trees are of course usually potted along with their roots and a generous supply of soil. These artificial trees obviously have no such requirements and as such are less messy. There’s no danger of a stray pet or child knocking these over and covering the carpet in soil and water! Traditionally Christmas trees include fir trees, pine trees and spruce trees. Artificial trees normally replicate these, and advances in technology and manufacturing mean that these fake trees are becoming increasingly realistic. With PE – polyethylene - trees now commonplace, these are in fact often indistinguishable from the real thing. Our potted trees are no different.
