It is very different; it is not a regular pine tree, it has s flat leaf and is called s flat leaf and is a Japanese plant. I arranged the leaves, raised he leaves to show the trunks as a tree and removed the basket and added a 3ft white decorative vase and added cedar chips. It looks very pretty in my master bedroom. Due to so much alteration it receives a 4 star it does not look like the picture and I purchase an open box.
