The FrostGleam Snow Flocked Christmas Tree is designed for indoor use. Since it's an artificial tree with electrical components (300 UL-listed lights), it's not suitable for outdoor use where it would be exposed to moisture, rain, or weather conditions.

Here's how to properly fluff the branches of the FrostGleam Pre-Lit Snow Flocked Christmas Tree:

Step-by-step fluffing process:

• Start from the bottom: Work your way up from the lowest branches to the top
• Separate each branch: Gently pull apart branches that are stuck together, especially at the top where they tend to cluster
• Shape individual tips: Bend and position each branch tip to create a natural, varied appearance
• Work section by section: Focus on one layer of branches at a time for better results

Pro tips from customers:

• Wear the included white gloves to protect your hands and minimize flocking transfer
• Be patient with top branches - they stick together more and need extra attention
• Expect some flocking mess - have a vacuum ready for cleanup afterward
• Take your time - proper fluffing makes a dramatic difference in fullness

The 400 - 750 (depending on the height) mixed PE and PVC branch tips will look much more realistic and full once properly separated and shaped.

Based on customer reviews of the FrostGleam Snow Flocked Christmas Tree, the flocking durability varies:

Typical lifespan: Most customers report the flocking lasts well through 3 full holiday season with proper handling.

What affects longevity:

• Normal shedding: Some flocking will naturally come off during assembly and decorating
• Storage conditions: Careful storage in original box helps preserve flocking for multiple years
• Handling frequency: Less moving and adjusting means longer-lasting flocking

Customer experiences:

• Many mention "minimal shedding" during setup
• Several customers/reviewers plan to use their tree for "at least the next 5 years"

The flocking should last multiple holiday seasons with gentle handling and proper storage.
