The maple tree is widely associated with Canadian and New England landscapes which, come autumn, are covered with a spectrum of colours, from rust and red to burnt orange and mustard. We’ve mimicked the rich burgundy tones of this seasonal turn in the tree’s life cycle with our Maple Leaf Twig.

The materials
As our stems are life-like, we want them to look indistinguishable from the real thing. So, that’s why, on each stem, we’ve added a hidden wire inside that allows you to bend it into a natural position rather than have it sitting straight up.
Why life-like?
Having flowers and foliage in your home makes such a difference – they’re one of those final touches that helps it feel more lived in. And stems that look as good on Friday as they did on Monday are even better – no water to change, nothing to trim, no mess, no fuss, and no wilting.
Arrangement ideas
To continue with the warm, seasonal feel, use this stem as a filler for your autumn arrangements alongside our Berry Twigs in Blue and Damson.
Look after your life-like stems with just a quick weekly dust. Use a clean feather duster or a wipe to keep your bouquet looking as good as new.
The wire in the stem 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) or wire cutters 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 it with real flowers, bend the life-like stem up out of the water.
