Backpacking through the woods, I often discover a tree that I would like to have decorated for the holiday but do not want to cut such beauty down. I consider myself a steward of the natural order, not its master. Thus, when I saw this tree on greatofferstock.com, I was delighted to purchase it. While beauty is still in the eye of beholder, I found its' lifelike simple appearance very appealing and the clear lights may be replaced with multi-colored lights, if that is your preference. I diligently purchased some replacement bulbs, some that are color, to add to my tree's beauty. Furthermore, I ordered a storage box, which is coming soon. If necessary, to protect the needles and branches further, I will store it in two boxes. Finally, if you are looking for that tree that caught you eye on a hike or backpack in the wilderness, I would suggest giving this tree another look.
