Giant Pine Spray
Why life-like?
Bringing evergreen foliage into your home at Christmas is something we’ve been doing for centuries – it’s a way to remember that, even in the depths of winter, there’s still life outside. But if you’re less keen on dropping needles and wilting branches, that’s where our life-like stems comes in.
Materials
Sometimes natural materials are best, other times synthetic. For our life-like stems, it’s polyester that creates the most realistic look. Easy to dye, it’s vibrant and colourfast so your stem won’t fade. And it can be made matte or shiny to look exactly like the real thing.
From real-life…
Evergreen, coniferous pines are resinous trees, which is why their spiky needles have a waxy texture. Every conifer will also have cones on its branches at one point, with the bark-like scales on the outside protecting the seeds within. Just like the ones on our life-like branch.
…to life-like
The last thing you want is for your stem to look fake, which is why we made the branches realistically gnarled, knobbly and as heavy as the ones you’d find on the forest floor (they’re also wired so you can bend them into place). Even the underside of each pine cone has been coloured in the same rich green as they’d turn in nature.
Free for all orders over £50 (or €100 in Ireland).
If your order is available now, we’ll deliver it between 3-5 days of your order being placed.
If your order is not available straight away, an estimated date will be indicated above and at checkout. We’ll then get in touch nearer the estimated date to arrange a specific time.
No-quibble returns
We believe that returns should be easy, which is why we approach them with a ‘no quibble’ mindset. And, you’ll also have 28 days to do so – just in case you need time to mull things over.
Care guide
Look after your life-like stem with just a quick weekly dust. Use a clean feather duster, a wipe or a hairdryer on low.
Just so you know
The stem’s wire is tough so you can’t accidentally snap it. But you’ll need something powerful if you want to trim it down. We’ve found long-handled loppers (the ones for pruning shrubs and trees) do the trick.
The wire inside also means you can’t put your stem in water for long or it’ll rust. So if you’re arranging them with real flowers, bend the life-like stems up out of the water.
