This unique tree was originally designed for specialty stores to display delicate ornaments while using a minimum amount of floor space. They drew inspiration from a Central European tradition from the 12th century where people hung trees from the ceiling during Christmas. An upside-down tree has many benefits today. Aside from just being an instant focal point and conversation piece, this tree ensures a smaller footprint, allowing more room for gifts underneath. The tapered shape allows it to be placed in spots that usually wouldn't accommodate a traditional holiday tree such as between two armchairs. Note: branches are compressed for shipment and need to be fluffed out upon arrival to look like the photo.
