With so many different varieties of artificial Christmas trees, it’s no wonder that we all get confused. Here, we explain what a pencil Christmas tree is and the benefits and disadvantages of having one.
A pencil Christmas tree is a small, skinny tree. No more than 8 feet tall and no more than 16 inches wide. These trees are popular because they’re easy to store and come in various colours like white, blue, or green. They can hold more miniature ornaments than regular trees and take up less space.
