Christmas Tree: Real Christmas Tree
built 661 days ago
Many people wrongly believe that a Christmas tree can be the cause of a fire. Of course, this can't be true. A Christmas tree which is well cared for will remain fresh and will not catch fire unless a strong flame supported by inflamable material is placed under the tree. In fact, there were examples of houses which burned completely while having a real Christmas tree which did not even catch fire. For their part, artificial trees do catch fire and, when they do, they emanate dangerous toxic fumes.

Because most artificial trees today mimic real ones, the tree type is equally important to consider for both artificial and live trees. Trees vary in coloration, needle style and shape, creating a look and feel to complement personal style and preference. Among some popular varieties are the Fraser fir, Scotch pine, Noble fir and Douglas fir. For needles that look and feel like the real thing, check out three styles of GE "Just Cut" artificial trees.
