Small Christmas Trees

November 10th, 2009

Today, a Christmas tree is sometimes seen as a status symbol – the bigger the tree, the more socially advantaged the owner. Christmas trees were originally the small table-top kind, but with the steady commericalisation of Christmas and the rapid growth of tree ornaments came the demand for the bigger floorstanding trees seen today. However, the small Christmas tree is in demand once more, primarily to decorate places of work, childrens’ bedrooms or small living spaces.

Just like its larger counterpart, the small Christmas tree comes in many styles, sizes and designs, with both real and artificial versions available. The smallest real Christmas trees are the pot-grown versions, and these seldom grow over 3 feet. They need to be regularly watered, just like any other house plant, and look just as lovely as a full size tree when decorated. A distinct advantage of the pot grown tree is that it comes with roots and so can be planted and enjoyed in the garden after Xmas.

There is a huge range of small artificial Christmas trees, with ‘small’ usually referring to anything less than 4 feet in height. From the contemporary coiled wire mini Christmas trees in smart metallic colours to the barbie pink 2-3 foot Christmas tree adorning many little girls’ bedrooms, and the huge scope of choice in between. Pre-decorated; pre-lit; fibre optic; snow covered; frosted – just like the regular Christmas tree, the small Christmas tree comes in all these choices.

A miniature Christmas tree can evoke the spirit of the festive season just as well as a larger one, and they are in big demand worldwide. The 12 inch desktop LED Christmas tree looks lovely in the office (especially if each desk has one) and only requires one battery, and the fibre-optic USB miniature tree also looks equally as lovely in the home or office – simply plug into the USB port of your computer to see a gorgeous display of colour.

Whilst the small Christmas tree may lack in size, it really matches the larger Christmas tree in terms of character and style.
