Abstract: A disclosed artificial tree includes telescoping tubes in series of progressively smaller diameters nested within each other. The telescoping pole is engineered to erect in response to an erecting force. A base is configured to support the telescoping pole orthogonal to a top side of the base parallel to a floor side of the base. The base includes a release control switch for erection and for retraction of the artificial tree. An artificial helical bough encircles the telescoping pole many times. The artificial helical bough is mounted at an outside end to the base and mounted on an inside end to a smallest diameter telescoping tube. The artificial helical bough is preconfigured with an engineered spring force greater than a weight of the bough plus a weight of the telescoping pole to erect the artificial tree based on a state of the release control switch.
