Inverted Christmas Trees

The Daily Collegian Online: Hang a shining star upon the lowest bough — the world of Christmas trees is being flipped upside-down.
The latest trend in artificial Christmas trees seems to be the “inverted” style, in which the tree is either hung from the ceiling or supported by a weighted base on the floor.
Local Christmas vendors are clamoring for the inverted evergreens. College Gardens Christmas Shoppe, 2481 Commercial Blvd., began carrying the “umbrella” and “mushroom” trees this year due to their bizarre appearance and ability to intrigue customers.
“They’re very unusual and most people have never seen anything like them,” owner Steve DuBois said. “People like the way the ornaments hang and the fact that more presents can be fit under the tree.”
Although the shock factor of the holiday trend is attractive, DuBois said, upside-down trees are a hard sale.
“Everybody loves them and are curious about them,” he said, “but you don’t sell a lot.”
