Understanding the Difference in Christmas Tree Foliage

  • Real-Needle™ PE

    The most realistic foliage type is our Real-Needle™ PE foliage. We take real branches from nature and have molds made out of them giving trees in PE foliage the most realistic impression possible! Most PE trees will have some PVC foliage on them, typically found on the part of the branches nearest the pole; this helps to decrease the overall weight of the tree, and to create fullness deep inside the tree.

  • Traditional PVC

    PVC is the material from which all artificial trees used to be made. The material is cut into thin strips and wrapped onto the branches giving them a fluffy feel and look. Trees made with PVC foliage have a very traditional feel both to the touch and style-wise.
