These two materials are PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and PE (polyethylene).&#xA0;Don&#x2019;t worry, you don&#x2019;t need a degree in chemistry to understand what these materials are, you just need to know that they look much more authentic than normal plastic models.&#xA0;Both PVC and PE are used to replicate the pine needles of real Christmas trees with astounding effect. That&#x2019;s because these branch tips have been hand-sculpted for ultimate authenticity, able to convince even the most eagle-eyed of guests that your tree is actually real.&#xA0;PVC Christmas trees are made with strips of PVC and achieve a traditional look. PE trees are realistically moulded and have 3D-like branches. <a href="https://www.christmastreeworld.co.uk/artificial-christmas-trees/shop-by-style/realistic-christmas-trees.html" id="isPasted" target="_blank">Realistic Christmas trees</a> are popular with our customers.PE branch tip:<span data-canva-clipboard="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"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/xola/hc/mwr3/1bdc0ff6-f38e-40da-8d59-010466fd283b-c92c37cf-1a12-40eb-90a8-45778cc0994e.png" style="width: 223px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil">PVC branch tip: <img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/xola/hc/mwr3/64df8ce3-1b33-49ce-82a8-fb232d09c7df-7b56fcdc-fa5d-4edc-a682-7c35f624e504.png" style="width: 232px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil">
