Looks real! If you have a brown thumb, as I do, this is the tree for you! It does need a different pot than the one it comes with, but that is easy enough to replace. A small package of dried moss is included, to make it even more realistic. It arrived a few hours ago, and it is already in the corner of my son's living room. I cannot believe the quality of this tree, considering the small price. One of my favorite buys from Wayfair!
