A true-to-life tree!!!  I was more than hesitant to order this tree, and almost missed out. The spacing of the branches is such that you have room for decorations to be tucked deep into the tree, allowing for layers of decorations.   It takes time to add lights, but there’s no worry about cutting them out when they fail.  Maybe you won’t want lights at all if you’re seeking a totally natural look. This tree has incredible ratings. They are earned.
