what were the first artificial christmas trees made from

The first artificial Christmas trees were made from a variety of materials, including goose feathers, artificial seaweed, and even real branches. However, the first true artificial Christmas tree was invented by a German man named Ernest Liebermann in 1890. Liebermann's artificial Christmas tree was made from a lightweight metal frame and covered with green dyed ostrich feathers. This innovative design quickly became popular and is the predecessor of the modern artificial Christmas tree we know today.
