Flocked trees are rarely accepted for recycling, making disposal challenging. Unlike organic trees, flocked trees may not break down naturally, complicating eco-friendly disposal.
Flocking became popular in the 1950s through General Mills' Sno-Flok kit and is favored in areas without natural snowfall, adding a wintery aesthetic.
A benefit of flocking is that the spray contains flame retardants, reducing fire risks. It also helps retain moisture in the tree, requiring less watering.
DIY flocking options exist, using soap flakes or glue, but lack the benefits of commercial sprays, such as flame retention and moisture preservation.
