Purchasing a Frosted Christmas Tree

This year I am searching for an artificial Christmas tree. There are many to choose from, do I want a slim, medium, full, fir, or spruce. Do I want a palm, upside down, or traditional? Do I go Flocked or frosted? What I found is, the ones that give a nice realistic wintry touch is, the frosted Christmas tree. I made the mistake when I was out at Home Depot and Lowe's looking, that a flocked and frosted are the same. With a flocked tree, the wintry snow look is sprayed on, looks heavy, and in time the flocking turns yellow. Whereas a frosted tree, has the gently kiss of snow look. Before I headed out, I phoned many stores, from JcPenny, Home Depot , Sears, and even Kmarts, to ensure the stores I go to, had these trees, and if so, that I could see what they looked like. Unfortunately the selection in store for these trees is almost Nil. The stores had one or two flocked on the floor, but I had found several on line stores, including the ones listed above that sells frosted trees.

Home Depot: Online

Although there are only two on line that I found, these trees come with an on/off pedal switch which is nice. The trees they have are:

In searching for a frosted Christmas tree, there is many to choose from. The one that seems most appealing to me is the tree with the alternating blinking lights. I have placed my order for the 6.5 foot Glacier Christmas tree. The sizes and shapes vary so much, that anyone's preference can be found. Some of the on line sites offered the information on bases, other did not, but had a section off to the side on bases. All the frosted trees looked very nice, and the wide variety sure makes it hard to choose. Your selection of slim, to full, and how many lights you want, are plenty. If you are in the market for a frosted tree, I am sure one of the stores above, will have the right one for you, and the size for the space you have.
