Artificial Christmas tree

Artificial Christmas trees are artificial pine and fir trees manufactured for the specific purpose of use as a Christmas tree. The earliest artificial Christmas trees were wooden, tree-shaped pyramids or feather trees, both developed by Germans. Most modern trees are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) but many other types of trees have been and are available, including aluminum Christmas trees and fiber-optic illuminated Christmas trees.
==History==
The first artificial Christmas trees were developed in Germany during the 19th century,〔〔Hewitt, James. ''The Christmas Tree'', ((Google Books )), Lulu.com, 2007, pp. 33–36, (ISBN 1430308206).〕 though earlier examples exist.〔 These "trees" were made using goose feathers that were dyed green.〔Forbes, Bruce David. ''Christmas: A Candid History'', ((Google Books )), University of California Press
, 2007, pp. 121–22, (ISBN 0520251040)〕 The German feather trees were one response by Germans to continued deforestation in Germany.〔〔 Developed in the 1880s, the feather trees became increasingly popular during the early part of the 20th century.〔John, J. ''A Christmas Compendium'', ((Google Books )), Continuum International Publishing Group, 2005, p. 129, (ISBN 0826487491).〕 The German feather trees eventually made their way to the United States where they became rather popular as well.〔〔Silverthorne, Elizabeth. ''Christmas in Texas'', ((Google Books )), Texas A&M University Press, 1994, p. 62, (ISBN 0890965781).〕 In fact, the use of natural Christmas trees in the United States was pre-dated by a type of artificial tree.〔Perkins, Broderick. "(Faux Christmas Tree Crop Yields Special Concerns )", ''Realty Times'', December 12, 2003, accessed December 15, 2008.〕 These first trees were wooden, tree-shaped pyramids lit by candles, they were developed in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, by the German Moravian Church in 1747.〔"(Christmas Tree Traditions )", ''University of Illinois Extension'', accessed December 15, 2008.〕
