This piece is totally adorable and well made.  It will look perfect hanging from a tree.  Here's the problem... the back is curved to hug a tree and has a keyhole for hanging.   The size of the curve will be a restriction on the size of circumfrance of tree you can hang it on.  For example, the tree I planned on using is too big.  Disappointed because most or all of our trees are bigger.  UPDATE:  we hung it on a larger tree.  You have to have a longer nail and it's still not totally snug but looks extremely nice.
