National TreeCompany 36-Inch Arborvitae with Dark Green Round Plastic Pot

We live in a location that accumulates a lot of snow and gets very cold in the winter. I was afraid to spend money on an expensive pine tree that would just need to be replaced every season.I saw this version on the Young House Love blog, and it is perfect for our front door. I placed it inside of a pot, and it has a heavy base. I filled it with lava rocks to secure and it’s gorgeous. The leaves are bendable so you can adjust them once taken out of the box.It looks real. People constantly are surprised that it’s fake when they see it. Highly recommend

Love it. This is my 3rd artificial shrub from this company. The other two have been outside in platers for a year now and look the same as they did on day 1. I live in PA with all seasons and they’ve survived the heat and snow. Just play around with the branches when you take it out of the box to make it look full. I “planted” this one inside of a bird bath (no longer use and too heavy to get rid of). Blends right in with my 4 real topiary plants. People won’t know it’s fake unless you tell them. Would recommend!!

I was looking to purchase four Nearly Natural 3'H Cedar Trees to complete my Mediterranean/Asian-inspired courtyard walkways. As their prices had almost doubled in the past couple of years (for a good quality product), I crossed my fingers and hoped that the National Tree brand would 'blend in.' I was extremely pleased with the results!! Time will tell to see how long these National Trees will survive the temperature and wind extremes experienced in the South Okanagan.

Looks realistic from a few feet back, it will definitely fit my need for a cedar tree that can't be killed by lack of watering!

I needed three faux shrubs I could place in solid concrete bases and position on the corner of my property to prevent vehicles from driving over my garden bed.The shrubs were shipped immediately and arrived safely. Their branches were compressed against the trunk to minimize the size of the shipping box.Each branch is made of plastic-coated bendable wire. This allows you to adjust the shape the shrub to your liking, just as you would shape an artificial Christmas tree. The branch wires are bound together to make a sturdy 3/4" thick trunk.The trunk is securely epoxied in a sturdy metal base which is held in place by three screws driven through the underside of the pot. The pot is made of thick, sturdy, flexible plastic, not the hard brittle plastic you get with live plants that tends to chip and break in cold weather. A 2" layer of poured concrete in the bottom of the pot locks it all together and provides a solid weighted base.The "leaves" are affixed to plastic nipples and held in place by tension. If you aren't careful you can pull some of them off, but you can slip them back in place quite easily. Expect a few loose "leaves" when you unpack and shape your shrub.Overall, it looks great. It's got good color and good texture and is quite believable if you shape it well.I'm withholding the fifth star from my review because I don't know how well it will hold up under exposure to sunlight or winter weather. If it does well, I'll add a star.
