I thought the tree was too dense, so after fluffing up leaves and bending the larger branches I pulled off about 20 leaves! I then took scissors and trimmed some to a smaller leaf size and put some back on.  This is good quality , I thought it looked less fake when some of the woody trunk or branch was revealed. I put it in the planter box to elevate it a little bit. 
Don’t hesitate to purchase you won’t be disappointed!
