Artificial tree having multiple tree portions with electrical connectors secured therein

An artificial tree, comprising:

• a first tree portion including a first trunk portion, and a first trunk electrical connector, wherein the first trunk portion comprises a first end, a main portion, and a second end, the main portion defines a main outside diameter and a main inside diameter, the first trunk portion defining a first trunk axis extending between the first end and the second end, and wherein the first trunk electrical connector is inserted into the main portion of the first trunk portion closer to the second end than the first end and comprises a body portion;
• and
• a second tree portion configured to couple to the first tree portion, the second tree portion having a second trunk portion and a second trunk electrical connector, wherein the second trunk portion comprises a first end, an angled transition portion, a narrow portion extending between the first end and the angled transition portion, a main portion, and a second end, the narrow portion defining an outside diameter that is smaller than an outside diameter of the main portion, the angled transition portion joining the narrow portion and the main portion, the second trunk portion defining a second trunk axis extending between the first end and the second end, and wherein the second trunk electrical connector comprises a first portion aligned axially with a second portion, the second portion of the second trunk electrical connector inserted into, and secured to, the main portion of the second trunk portion, and the first portion of the second connector inserted into the narrow portion of the second trunk portion, such that the second trunk electrical connector extends axially from the narrow portion through the angled transition portion of the second trunk portion and into the main portion of the second trunk portion.
