I am not usually one to advocate for faux trees and artificial plants in general, but with winter on its way, I've found myself dreaming of verdant green gardens. It seems serendipitous, therefore, that I'm seeing stunningly life-like artificial trees everywhere right now.
Normally, at this time of the year, you'd expect wreaths, garlands, and mistletoe to be decking the halls, but if you're on the hunt for alternative Christmas tree ideas, a faux olive or maple tree may just be the answer. Yes, a large potted tree makes a stylish statement year-round, but add an ornament or two and it transforms into something truly special (not to mention a Christmas tree you don't have to pack up in the new year).
