this flocked thing? what does it mean? Does that mean people actually don't use REAL trees?

In the 1960's my Grandfather had a tree in the outer office that was made entirely of silver tinsel. Then he had a spot light with a rotating wheel with four different colors in front of it. The reflection made the tree change colors as the wheel rotated. Even as a little kid I would laugh because even at that age I knew it was tacky.

It's a real tree, usually, that people spray a powdered "snow" on it. Usually white, but obviously there are options. Never liked the flocked thing. It's kinda like the Ron Popeil "Hair In A Can" thing.
