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

I've been looking for a tree this year and have been confused by the ones called hyper-realism vs PVC trees. Can you help me out?
Shown above is the traditional PVC tree that everyone is familiar with. It's made using the bottle brush technique. Basically there are two pieces of PVC, laminated together and then the needles are shredded into thin strips. There are two pieces of wire that are used on the branches and it is good for those that like to load their trees with ornaments, the folks I call ornamenters! A four or five ounce ornament can be hung almost on the very end of the branch.
