 There are plenty of circumstances where slim artificial Christmas trees are the ideal solution. You may have purchased a live pine tree last year, just to find it cramped into a space that you cleared by moving your furniture around in your living area. And too often we see a tree that has been shoved into a corner because there is not enough space. The tree may have been rubbing up against a wall on one side, and a piece of furniture on the other. The reason for this type of scenario is because there is no real way to create a narrow tree in nature, or on a tree farm. And often times trimming it only exposes the trunk more and gives it a bare appearance. Some homes have an area that is ideal for displaying their tree so that it can be seen from outside through a window, but the space may still be fairly limited. On the other hand slim artificial Christmas trees offer all the fullness of a tree found in nature, and they have been duplicated with every attention to detail, down to the last pine needle. These trees are made in a variety of heights, but have a smaller radius to height ratio. These trees help reduce the amount of space consumed at any chosen height. So rest assured that whether you live in a studio apartment in a large high-rise, a mobile home in the country, or if you simply want the tree in your large home entry-way (with high ceilings) between the a wall and a staircase, there are slim artificial Christmas trees that will suite any circumstance which will still allow you to hand Christmas ornaments on the tree while still saving space.
For people who are concerned that slim artificial Christmas trees might look too skinny and have an odd appearance, adding garland and other horizontal lines will give it a wider look. You can also add round and fat ornaments that will help fill up the narrow, vertical areas and give the tree an illusion of being fuller. Bows have a widening effect on a narrow tree as well because they create horizontal lines and are always wider than they are tall. Another inventive way to make your tree appear fuller and wider is to add lights that have a chase-sequence option. This will incorporate some horizontal movement and add to the illusion of a wider tree.
The physics of slim artificial Christmas trees is interesting in that, by reason of Newtonian principals, the trees are more stable on their stands and are less likely to topple over. This is because more of the trees total mass is closer the trunk, and it has smaller branches jutting out in all directions. This ancillary bonus feature might want to be considered when you have kids still living at home. Additionally, because of the shorter branches, there is not as much stress put on them throughout the entire length, but especially where the branches connect to the trunk of the tree. Less stress in the critical areas also means less bending, and less cycles of fatigue stress where it can cause plastic deformation in the micro-structure of the branches at the molecular level. In short, your narrower trees have a higher probability of lasting longer than a wider tree.
