Questions and answers with Bill Quinn of Christmas Tree For Me.

What about the wild looking Bubble Tree -- I spotted this a few weeks ago on your web-side and have never seen anything like it before!
Again, this was a would-be customer calling and looking for a bubble tree. The customer's wife had seen the bubble tree and wanted one, he wanted to surprise her with the tree but couldn't find it anywhere.

A week later I spoke with a vendor who sold the tree, got pictures of it and thought it was a neat, cute tree. The first three trees we sold were to folks who had seen it set up somewhere and just "had to have it". Now since a recent article in USA Todway, it's been selling very well.

The center of the tree is an acrylic tank with hoses that hold the water. The hoses control the bubbles. An LED light on the bottom has four colors, which cycle to the different colors or can be set with just one color. Standard mini-lights are wrapped around the spiral branches.

How do you see it decorated?
I don't think the tree lends itself well to a huge amount of ornaments, but unusual ornaments would work well on it. I also don't think simple balls would work well.
