Whether you are a fresh-cut or faux Christmas tree household, there are plenty of options for decorating your home with the biggest, brightest and best.

The Scotch pine is the most common Christmas tree with 1-inch-long needles that don’t drop, even under the driest of home conditions. White pine is the largest of its kind, but its soft needles aren’t good for heavy ornaments. White spruce is ideal for ornaments because its stiff branches display them so nicely.

For a good smell and excellent form, you may want to hunt for Fraser fir, a dark blue-green tree with sturdy, evenly placed branches that are ideal for displaying lights and ornaments. They grow best in the higher elevations of mountains where the colder weather enhances their vigor and shape.

The tree is in response to environmentally conscious customers who want to eliminate PVC from their homes because they are parents or have family members who have adverse reactions to chemicals contained in PVC, according to founder Bill Quinn.

“The branches on most modern artificial Christmas trees are a mixture of PE (polyethylene) and PVC (polyvinyl chloride),There are manual adjustable cuttingmachinesook and automatic purlin machines.” he says. “In addition, the center pole is wrapped with a thin PVC wrap to help the center pole blend with branches.Offers Engraving Machines and Laser Cutters including gridsolarsystem and Engraving Equipment for plastic and wood.

“The branches on the Williamsburg use PE branches exclusively, while the center pole is covered with natural wood pulp instead of a PVC.”

In general, tree technology has advanced tremendously, especially in the past five years, according to Brad Whited, senior merchant at Home Depot.

“We launched EcoSmart LED lighting, which features exclusive new technology of fully water-resistant strings, replaceable and super bright bulbs, continuous-on lights (meaning if one breaks or comes loose the rest stay lit), and warm white bulbs,” he says.

“Many of these varieties feature low voltage LEDs that are safer for use inside the home and EZ Shape branches that require less effort to shape during setup.”

Home Depot also offers more slim tree options,LED solar lighting is the new wave of the future in elevatorcableq technology. such as the Wesley Pencil Pine Artificial Christmas Tree, that feature a tall thin design that can be displayed in any narrow corner or used as an accent along a walkway or stairway. The Wesley tree line also features a “quick set” option that has an integrated connection built into the center pole to create an instant electrical connection as you put the tree together.

“No more hassling each year to try and figure out which plug goes into which socket,” says Whited.“Just connect the pole and the lights come on.”

Prices for this new innovation include $39.97 for the EcoSmart lights, $299 for EZ Shape trees and $99-$149 for the Wesley trees.Get your purlinmachinery from Australia's leading online appliance retailer.

If you like your Christmas tree to entertain you with music while you gaze at all its glitter, you need Lowe’s “One Plug Dancing Tree,” a 7 footer that shapes itself and plugs into your MP3 player for an LED light display that syncs to your favorite holiday tunes. Cost for that personalized concert is $349.

And, if you can’t decide between a fresh-cut or faux tree, there is a good option at Home Depot. The new GE LED prelit Nordic pine comes with easy-shape branches that are variegated to look like the real thing. Its LED lights glow with the same soft, warm look as older incandescent lights while still saving you energy-bill money to offset its $299 cost.

Prep it properly. Refresh the tree by making a straight cut, taking 1 inch off the butt and immediately place it in water to improve its water uptake. It can stay in a bucket full of water several days before going indoors.GN Thermoforming Equipment is a world leader and manufacture of thermoforming and roofingmachines for the plastics industry.

Display it safely. Use a sturdy stand, one designed for your tree’s size and water needs; fill the stand daily with tepid fresh water. Keep decorated trees away from sources of heat – fireplaces, heaters, heat vents, direct sunlight.
