He tells uses sales are up by double digits. He credits the shortage of real trees but artificial trees are more popular than people realize when you look closely and see how realistic the branches and the needles have become. A lot of people grew up with artificial, they stay artificial. I love both kind office trees. Even though we focus on artificial trees, im doing my best to copy nature. So i appreciate the real trees and the experience that people have. He also told us that 80 of households with Christmas Trees do have artificials trees. We had one growing up and you hook the things in, you could totally tell it was fake. We had a pretty reallooking tree. I normally get a real tree, but bellas 1 now and puts everything in her mouth.
