Suggestions for Flocked Artificial Tree: does Q have any that don't lose flocking? I have cats and don't want them licking the fallen bits.

I want the type which shows the tree's green, not all covered in flocking.

The responses will be helpful, because I find them all dusty. I'll mention the snow-kissed trees BL has on QVC. They aren't actually flocked, but have frosted tips, which I think is very pretty.

Balsam Hill has some beautfiul trees.  They are having a sale this weekend and might be worth it to take a look.  I have a BH tree which I love but mine isn't flocked, though they have some.   Great quality products at this company and free shipping!

@skittles2   I think I heard in a presentation that Bethlehem Lights has flocked trees that don't lose their flocking.

Just a word of caution about any type of flocked artificial trees.  I have two cats and I had to box away my lightly flocked tree because not only did my both cats try to lick fallen flocking but they were under the tree licking and biting the flocking ON the tree.  They wouldn't stop doing it and I even sprayed the bottom of the tree with 'bitter orange' that you can get at the pet store.  For me, it wasn't a matter of what type of flocked tree was best with cats, it was a matter of NO flocked tree with cats.  I would hate to see you invest in a beautiful flocked tree no matter how little flocking, and then not be able to use it.  

I opted to buy a regular artificial green tree and the cats were curious but they never licked or tried to bite any of the branches.  You wouldn't want any of the flocking getting into their stomach or digestive system causing major health problems or worse.

We have BL and it doesn't loose flocking, but it isn't heavily flocked more like snow kissed

@skittles2   I have to concur with @ciao_bella , I don't think you will find a flocked tree that cats won't bother, even if the flocking doesn't shed hardly at all.  Unless you can keep your kitties completely away from the tree by putting a "fence" of orange peels on the floor or something like a doggie ex-pen around it, so the cats can't reach the branches at all, odds are those curious beasties will get themselves in trouble.  I don't know if there are any Bethlehem Lights trees in stock at QVC that have the "snow kissed" color option available, as mentioned by @AuntG , but those are actually white plastic, not flocking, so maybe those would give you the look you want without risking kitty interference?

I understand that a tree that sheds flocking is due to the temperature at the time it was made. Since they are all made overseas it is never a sure thing that it will or will not shed.

@Drews gram your tree is so beautiful.

@skittles2There is a "snow kissed" stake tree on sale in the "Lunchtime Specials" section of the QVC website, if you want to order a little 36" tree as an experiment to see if you kitties bother it or leave it alone.
