The tree branches are represented by simple strips of green which are set against a snowy white background, creating a visual representation of the lyrics of O Tannenbaum :
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us.
They are green when summer days are bright;
They are green when winter snow is white.
