Features and Benefits
Today there are several benefits to this type of tree that private homes and retailers both enjoy. The first is that an upside down tree offers a more spectacular canvas to showcase ornaments. Ornaments hang in full view and are not obstructed by branches. Retailers find this useful as well as the fact that hanging a tree upside down creates more floor space. Having more room for gifts and presents is an added benefit enjoyed by all!
A second feature of having an Upside Down Christmas tree is that it can be child and pet safe. Hanging the tree from a ceiling bracket, or mounting it to a corner prevents little fingers, toes, and paws from heat. Taking the tree off the floor also prevents accidents with breaking ornaments.

When choosing an Upside Down tree there are several options available. The trees are available in a variety of colors including green, white, silver, yellow/champagne, and clear with heights ranging from 3' to 9' to fit most decors.
