How It's Made: Artificial Christmas Trees

[@Reaper81805]

Was hoping to see the cheap artificial trees we use in our homes

[@mrs.elitenugz8491]

Ghost Rider right lol

[@arcbrush]

those are made in china, and the show can't really go there, so only artisan places

I'm in the Pacific Northwest where real trees are in such an abundance that fake costs more.

My family has used Balsam Hill trees for years now. Anyone else use them?

[@charlesdeliberis239]

those are the ones that shopping malls put up , tell us how the regular ones are made that you put up in your homes

[@caspernicus5822]

Charles DeLiberis same way

[@MargoMB19]

@@caspernicus5822 Definitely not the same way. The artificial tree my family puts up is completely different than shown in this video, there is no possible way this process would make the tree I have.

[@warailawildrunner5300]

@@MargoMB19 I would say it's similar - basically the way they make the branches is likely the same. They just assemble it differently...

[@dickJohnsonpeter]

@@MargoMB19 the branches are exactly the same and the rest is obvious. It's just a pole.

[@jondavidlassiter2534]

I think its another way

[@JacobHollis96]

But what about the ones that you can put in a box and store in a closet each year? I want to know how those are made.

[@yenxion6516]

Lightningstone2u In China I think 🤔

[@TheKonga88]

They spray a lollipop with ant pheromones and it changes into a Christmas tree within a few days.. Now you know.. 😀😀😀🙌🎅🌲🎅🌲🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎊🎊🎈🎈🎈🎈🎉⛄⛄⛄🌲🌲🎅🎅🎄🌲🌲🎄🎄🎄

[@Fusdew]

1. Cut green plastic 2. Wrap plastic around thick metal wire 3. Connect metal wire to center pole 4. Repeat 5. Add stand Do you really need a video to figure that out?

I've never had an artificial tree. We buy a live tree every year then after the holidays we plant it on our property. Been doing that for 13 years. All 13 of them are doing great with the biggest one over 20 ft tall now.

[@SammIAmmy]

Such a great way to keep the beautiful trees living and enjoying for years to come ♡

trucker V very nice. Great thinking. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

[@mrs.elitenugz8491]

trucker V that's awesome 🎄

[@reese1337]

Wait what? A Christmas tree is still alive after being cut? If this is true then why do so many people throw them out after Christmas????? Some people have them recycled into wood. CHips etc

[@RoyalBlue4486]

WOF Chicago they don’t cut them down. They are live trees in a pot.

[@tinabutterandjelly5]

"How commercial Christmas trees are made" would have been a much more appropriate title

[@rowelle]

Exactly

[@Miniae_Cecilia]

It's still an artificial Christmas tree so the title isn't wrong

[@lesliegonzalez1742]

@@Miniae_Cecilia it was only said that it would've been "much more" appropriate, not that it was wrong. And I agree.

Decorating the tree is literally half the fun of Christmas tho!

Not when you have to install 48 of these in a mall every year

[@alec4672]

@@marissawilder4587 part of what I do, I do commercial lighting displays. Christmas decorations in malls and government buildings, municipal holiday displays for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. Music festivals anything that isn't on stage anything big, decorative, with lights we do basically.

[@alec4672]

@Lera AnimeLover 26 were 16ft, 16 were 18ft, and 6 were 34ft the big 3 storey ones. We did the 34 footers when the mall was closed cause you need heavy equipment. Still nothing compared to the real one they set in New York.

[@alec4672]

@Lera AnimeLover You'd be surprised how efficent they are with LED lights now. You used to need a couple dedicated circuits for a 32ft tree now unless you want an over then average light density you can usually get 2 on one breaker

[@battlingbloom3330]

That's a thicc lookin tree But seriously, how are the dusty Christmas trees from the depths of my dirty garage are made?

Merry Christmas everyone.....🎄🎅🎁💝

[@tigerbatman7881]

Happy Hanukkah

[@t.mumpfield]

Wish this was about the trees people buy in stores.

[@sweetwillow]

I just wanted to see how the pieces of plastic pine needles ares made. I was wondering if it was with a machine. That is actually super fascinating that someone created a machine to do that!

[@lostloaf7817]

I expected a tree you would put in your house not a tree at town square

[@KrisRyanStallard]

"if you want glitz, you can really go out on a limb." That pun knocked me out of the tree and I loved it.

[@jenniewright3045]

It makes me sad that some people buy them already decorated. Decorating the tree was something we always looked forward to as a kid and I still enjoy it now as an adult.

[@crweewrc1388]

I agree!

[@k.s.k.7721]

Our plastic tree had to be assembled every year, literally twig by twig. It was entirely hard plastic. One year my mother (who got stuck with assembly, decoration and dis-assembly) put ours up on Christmas Eve and took it down Christmas evening. She HATED that thing. My dad adored it.

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Teacher: What did you learn over the winter break? Me: I learned how artificial Christmas trees are made

[@itacryan]

Perfect timing for How It’s Made You know because it’s Christmas.

[@linasbutcher1914]

I enjoy watching this program. It’s interesting to learn how things are made. I feel like I learn so much. I wish I could work in a factory. Where Christmas Trees are made. Granted the they are artificial. But their still beautiful and it doesn’t have to take away the joy. You get from decorating them at Christmas time. It just depends on the individual. Imho knowing I live alone. It’s no fun decorating a tree by myself. Since I would be the only one to see it. Merry Christmas Everyone! 😊

[@lauriebeabea]

So this isn’t the kind of artificial tree anyone owns

[@itacryan]

Imagine how many presents we could fit under that tree.

[@specialed6357]

Or inside it since it's hollow.

[@NoNames-vw3bq]

None. Since it sets directly on the ground. Unless you put it on something where you can then put the gifts under it. But you could sure stuff a lot inside of it!

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍Cool. I always did want to know how the branches and pine needle look was done. I imagine that the smaller artificial trees for people’s homes are made in much the same way with some variances and different shaped parts that people assemble themselves at home.

[@nickhingle5534]

That’s really interesting to see how they build a artificial Christmas tree. I’ve seen workers in a hospital’s clinic building, where I live, put the artificial tree up. The tree is basically 3 stories tall. 😃

[@TaylorMMontgomery]

i love how these shopping mall trees look nothing like a real tree. they're just triangles

[@lovingyourlifestyle6320]

This a very interesting video, I was not aware how large trees were made. I do like are artificial trees, because of the the dry Texas weather. We keep water in the base of the tree, but with the heating of our homes, it still drys out and you have a real mess to clean up.

[@lucky1206]

This is the way to go every Christmas year. It is such a waste of natural resource and energy to buy a real tree just to sit in a house for a month then to throw it away. It takes at least 10 years for a tree to grow 6 to 8 feet tall. It's also crazy how corporations are fully able to grow enough trees for millions of people to buy but not able to just let them grow to replenish the Earth's trees that have been cut down for thousands of years and to help the environment.

I imagine working here is what it would be like to work at Santa’s workshop. It’s always Christmas for you, you can never escape the thought. And all your work accumulates into one holiday. Then you get to work again. Though at leas you are being paid. Santa’s elves don’t have that luxury when he took the, as a child and forced them to be young forever to make his toys for the good children they chose not to be.
