Artificial trees offer customisation that real trees can&#8217;t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Allergy-safe<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since they don\u2019t contain pollen or natural oils, artificial trees are a safer option for homes with sensitive individuals or pets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons_of_Artificial_Christmas_Trees\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cons of Artificial Christmas Trees<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><b>Not biodegradable<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artificial trees are made with plastics like PVC.
