We are crazy about how natural our pre-lit Christmas trees look this season... especially the new Aspen Pine! This majestic (and affordable) Christmas tree captures the splendor of the Rockies featuring nature-inspired needles and branches. Trimming your holiday tree will be easy this holiday season. Full and thick, the branches of this tree are ideal for hanging ornaments of all shapes and sizes. The Aspen contains more than 1227 tips giving a lush appearance. The slim profile fits neatly in any niche or it can be center stage as a focal point.
YEW
Yew is a low-maintenance, upright evergreen shrub that will add color and height to any winter container. This multi-stemmed evergreen will provide brilliant green foliage all winter turning a more bluish-green come spring. It lends an extremely fine and delicate texture making it a great accent feature. We especially love it paired with cool weather annuals like, Pansies and Dusty Miller and trailing Vinca.
