<p>An artificial Christmas tree includes a central trunk broken into two separate portions including a fixed trunk portion and a rotating trunk portion. The fixed trunk extends up from an underlying base. The rotating trunk rotatably attaches at a midpoint thereof to an upper end of the fixed trunk. Limbs are pivotably attached to the rotating trunk with optional lights coupled thereto. These limbs pivot between a perpendicular orientation extending from the rotating trunk and a collapsed configuration closer to a centerline of the rotating trunk. The rotating trunk can be pivoted from a first collapsed configuration with a first end above a second end to a deployed configuration with the second end above the first end. During such pivoting,the limbs attached to the rotating trunk transition between a collapsed to a deployed configuration automatically. A wheeled base and cover further facilitate storage and deployment.</p> |
