Driving in to work today we saw the Christmas tree lots and noticed the non-white flocked trees - pink and blue. When I was younger, I remember that banks would have colored, mostly white (snow) flocked trees in their lobby.
I'm just curious, other than the white "snow" flocked trees have you or anyone you know ever had a pink or blue one?

Hey there Donald; good to see 'ya!
Yep, I had a couple good, goth friends who went with a pink tree for a couple of years. It's a good question you ask; I wonder if the rest of the country offers up pink, blue, red & yellow trees (I've seen 'em all out here) or it's just us Hollywood folk! |

My grandparents would always get a pink flocked tree back in the fifties.
Now that I think about it, their bathroom and bedroom were pink as well. They must have been trying to coordinate. And then there was their neighbor who always drove pink caddies............. ![]() Back on track - I can't recall ever knowing anyone else who had a tree flocked in a color. |

Pink and Blue? Heck I don't even like tinsel on a tree - (although the wife insists and does it herself).

Still using live trees here - ![]() Personally I am tired of them. Tired of the mess, fire hazard, cost, etc etc. I have a boat load of ornaments and lights and require a tree that can hold them all - typically in the $80 and up range. Every year I push for a high end fake - wife isn't budging yet - but it's getting close. Maybe next year - Ron |

I was just having this discussion with my wife last night as we got our real tree decorated. Nothing like the smell of fresh cut pine!
My mother claims we once had a pink flocked tree because it was my younger sister's year to pick the tree, but I don't personally remember having a pink flocked one. I do remember a number of the white flocked ones. |

this flocked thing? what does it mean? Does that mean people actually don't use REAL trees?

In the 1960's my Grandfather had a tree in the outer office that was made entirely of silver tinsel. Then he had a spot light with a rotating wheel with four different colors in front of it. The reflection made the tree change colors as the wheel rotated. Even as a little kid I would laugh because even at that age I knew it was tacky.

It's a real tree, usually, that people spray a powdered "snow" on it. Usually white, but obviously there are options. Never liked the flocked thing. It's kinda like the Ron Popeil "Hair In A Can" thing.

Whoa, I don't think I've ever seen a pink or blue flocked tree. Perhaps my imagination is lacking, but that just's something that I can do without. Kinda like using a pink or blue football.
