PE/PVC needles

PE and PVC are two different plastics used to create the points on your prelit Christmas tree. PVC stands for polyvinyl choride and it is the material most artificial trees use exclusively. In realistic trees polyethylene (or PE) is molded to create a fuller, contoured tips, with natural variations. Your tree doesn't have to completely made up of PE needles to look realistic and actually most trees will use a combination or PE and PVC.

Color

Choose a prelit Christmas tree with muti-colored tips for a more natural look. This is a small detail that will add just a touch more realism to your tree.

Shape

A tree that is perfectly symetrical with a uniform shape just shouts "artificial." Trees just don't grow that way by nature. Slight variations in the positioning of the branches will make your prelit Christmas tree comparable to a freshly cut one.
