An artificial Christmas tree from ArtiTree is more than a decoration – it is a companion for many Christmas celebrations. Our trees are made from 100% PE injection moulding: each needle is crafted based on real Nordmann fir branches, is three-dimensional, and comes in several shades of green. The result is a realistic Christmas tree that far surpasses cheap PVC models – and whose carbon footprint keeps improving over time. Whether you're looking for a classic 180 cm Christmas tree, a model with integrated LED lighting or a compact Norway spruce in a pot : you'll find your model here.

Real or artificial – which is the better choice?
The question of real or artificial Christmas tree comes up every year. Both have their merits – the decision depends on lifestyle, living space, and personal priorities. Here are the main arguments at a glance:
PE vs. PVC vs. Mix – What's the Difference?
The choice of material is the most important purchasing criterion. PVC needles (polyvinyl chloride) are flat and inexpensive – but clearly recognizable as an artificial product up close. PE needles (polyethylene) from injection molding are three-dimensional and deceptively real. Mix trees combine PE on the outside with PVC on the inside as a compromise. ArtiTree deliberately refrains from this compromise: all trees are made of 100% injection-molded PE – each needle based on real fir branches. The result is a consistently natural look that is significantly superior to cheaper models.
The right size
-
🏠 Ceiling height 2.40m → 180 – 210 cm tree
Rule of thumb: Allow 15–30 cm of space between the top of the tree and the ceiling. For 2.40m, 180–210 cm is ideal – leaving enough room for a star or angel on top.
-
🚪 Ceiling height 2.80 – 3.00m → 240 - 270 cm
Spacious living areas and hallways offer room for an impressive 240–270 cm. ArtiTree offers these sizes in Nordic spruce with lighting.
-
🏢 Banks, hospitals, nursing homes → from 270 cm
The Nord spruce with integrated lighting is available in heights up to 450 cm – for impressive spaces with a gallery or high ceiling. Segmented construction, easy to transport.

What to look for when buying?
In addition to the material, three other criteria matter: Branch density (a 180 cm tree needs at least 700 branches for a full look), Stand (a wide, stable base is essential for trees from 180 cm upwards – ArtiTree uses FSC wooden stands) and Safety (flame-retardant materials, CE marking, tested for harmful substances). ArtiTree trees are explicitly cat-safe and tested for harmful substances – a clear advantage over cheap models without proof.
Care & Storage – to make your tree last forever
-
🧽 Dust before packing
Clean branches with a soft cloth or compressed air – especially important for PE needles, as dust dulls their appearance.
-
📦 Original box or bag
Original box or storage bag with handles. No plastic bags – moisture can build up.
-
🌑 Store in a dark, dry place
UV rays bleach out PE needles. Cellars with good ventilation or storage rooms are ideal.
-
🔌 Protect cables when packing
Loosely wrap trees with LED lights – overtightening can damage integrated cables.

FAQs / Frequently Asked Questions about Artificial Christmas Trees
Which artificial Christmas tree looks the most realistic?
Trees made from 100% injection-moulded PE are the most similar to real firs. Each needle is individually injection-moulded based on real Nordmann fir branches – three-dimensional, flexible and in various shades of green. In contrast to PVC flat needles or mixed trees, they look deceptively real up close and from a distance. ArtiTree produces all trees entirely from injection-moulded PE – without PVC admixture or compromises.
What is the difference between PE and PVC in artificial trees?
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) needles are flat, soft, and inexpensive – but on closer inspection, they are clearly identifiable as artificial since they shine and lack a three-dimensional shape. PE (polyethylene) needles, produced by injection molding, on the other hand, are three-dimensional, flexible, and deceptively real. They come in several shades of green and imitate the natural texture of real pine needles. Mixed trees (PE on the outside, PVC on the inside) are a compromise. ArtiTree focuses on 100% PE – meaning the entire tree, not just the outer branches, is deceptively real.
How long does an artificial Christmas tree last?
When properly used, a high-quality artificial Christmas tree will last 10 years or longer. Quality and material are crucial here.
Which size is right for my living room?
As a rule of thumb: Ceiling height minus 30–40 cm = optimal tree height. For a normal German ceiling height of 2.40 m, 150–180 cm is ideal. For 2.80 m, 210–240 cm also fits well. Always plan for at least 15–30 cm distance between the treetop and the ceiling – for a topper, a star, or an angel. ArtiTree trees are available in heights from 100 cm to 450 cm – from the mini version in a pot to the representative tree for hotels and event venues.
How many branches does a realistic artificial tree need?
The branch density determines whether an artificial tree looks full and natural or sparse and transparent. Guidelines: 120 cm → min. 400 branches, 150 cm → min. 500–600, 180 cm → min. 700–900, 210 cm → min. 1,000 branches. The higher the density, the better ornaments, fairy lights, and Christmas baubles are distributed – and the fewer gaps remain visible.
Is an artificial Christmas tree more environmentally friendly than a real one?
According to a study by the American Christmas Tree Association, an artificial tree is equivalent to or better than a new real tree annually in terms of climate balance after about 5 years of use. Anyone who uses their ArtiTree for 10–15 years has a significantly lower CO₂ footprint per season. ArtiTree also uses PE materials, plastic-free packaging, and as a company offsets CO₂ emissions by planting trees in Germany.
Artificial Christmas tree with or without lights?
Trees with integrated LED lighting, such as the ArtiTree Nordmann fir, are more convenient – just plug them in and they light up, no more tedious untangling of fairy lights. Look for warm white light (2,700–3,000 Kelvin) for a cozy atmosphere and a timer function. Trees without lighting are cheaper, more flexible, and allow you to choose new or different fairy lights each season.
Are artificial Christmas trees flame retardant?
Quality models are made of flame-retardant materials and comply with applicable safety standards. When purchasing, look for corresponding information.
Is the ArtiTree Christmas tree cat-proof?
Yes. All ArtiTree trees are made from flame-retardant, pollutant-tested materials and are explicitly certified as cat-safe – no sharp wires, no toxic components. The FSC-certified wooden stand is dimensioned so that the tree stands stably even with curious pets. This is a clear advantage over real trees, whose pine needles can be dangerous for cats.
What does a good artificial Christmas tree cost?
Inexpensive PVC artificial trees are available from €20–40, but they look less natural up close. High-quality PE trees, such as those from ArtiTree, start at €79.90 (Nordmann fir 100 cm) and go up to approximately €400 for XXL models. Calculated over a service life of 10–15 years, a €100 tree costs less than €10 per season – significantly cheaper than buying a real tree annually for €30–80.
How do I store my artificial Christmas tree correctly?
After the season, fold up branch by branch, dust with a soft cloth or compressed air, and store in the original packaging or a sturdy storage box. Store in a dry, cool room without direct sunlight – not in basements with high humidity. Never store trees with integrated light strings tightly compressed, as the cables can break. If stored correctly, the PE tree will remain dimensionally stable and colorfast for many years.
Are artificial Christmas trees suitable for allergy sufferers?
As artificial Christmas trees do not produce natural resin or pine dust, they are often a good alternative for sensitive individuals.
