Use of Artificial Trees
Artificial trees are majorly used for the purpose of decorations and they are mostly used as Christmas trees. The first Christmas silk tree was developed in the 19th century in Germany. The trees then were made of green dyed goose feathers and they become popular in the 20th century. The use of Artificial trees has since been encouraged as they help in the conservation of natural forests and hence reduce deforestation.
There are many types of Silk trees and the difference comes in with the size and material the trees are made from. The sizes could range from small, medium to big and the materials that are used to make the trees range from silk, aluminum, plastic, feathers, fiber optic and to brush bristles. In this article, we will look at trees that are made from aluminum, brush bristles, features, plastic and optic fiber. We start with those made from brush bristles. The first Silk tree that was made from brush bristles was in 1930 by Addi’s Brush Company that is US-based.
The trees were made from animal hair bristles that were dyed green. The advantage of brush bristle trees was that they are not easily flammable and they also allow for heavier ornamentation. Next is the plastic Silk trees; many of the plastic Silk trees were made in China. The advantage of this type of Silk tree is that they are fire retardant. Then are those made from aluminum. This kind of trees was first manufactured in the United States in 1958. Next are those made from feathers; this kind was first made in Germany and they became popular in the United States. The advantage of these trees is that they provide a large space for ornamentation and they also reduced the demand for shed needles. Then finally are those trees made from optic fiber. This kind comes in two varieties that is one made of wispy fiber optic cables and the other just resembles a normal traditional Silk tree.
The benefits of using Silk flowers include artificial flowers are an alternative to the use of natural trees and hence by their use, we are able to save on the forests and natural trees which are essential in the eco-balance. Secondly, artificial trees are cheaper as compared to the natural ones. They are cheaper in the sense that one can use one artificial tree for a long time without necessarily having to worry about it drying and hence they can be considered more convenient. Again, we can also say they help conserve the environment in that the materials used to make them are usually those that have been recycled or reused. Another advantage of artificial trees is that for those who could be allergic like say to pine trees, artificial pine trees will not affect them. Finally, artificial trees are not as messy as natural trees.
Artificial trees come in about three forms. That is pre-lit, non lit and fiber optic. Pre-lit trees are those that are already lit, ad this makes decoration of the tree easier. Non-lit are those that look like natural trees. Finally, the price and cost of artificial trees depends on the materials used to make the specific tree and its size. Even so, it is important to know that many of the artificial trees are durable and can be used for long periods without replacement.
