Fall colors will be announced at a later date. Tree sizes greater than 6″ will be announced soon.

The tree size is measured by the “bushy” part of the armature (see product image below). The trunk length can be trimmed to adjust the overall tree height.

Trees are available in quantities of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100. Please contact PLW if you need more than 100 trees as custom pricing will be quoted.

These trees are custom made, so allow time for the order to be processed and shipped.
