We had been shopping in nearly ever store we could think of with no luck finding a six and a half foot tree, as it's a less available size in the nicer quality trees. This tree beats anything we had seen in any size because of its many flexible, branch tips. It is absolutely beautiful and so real looking, after moving the tips in all directions, for a natural appearance, that my son-in-law was shocked that it wasn't actually a fresh tree. Thank you
