Strength has been improved, but it still tears easily with your fingers. You can make whatever size pieces you need.

Available solo and included with all of our Fir Tree Kits.

Stronger, more durable, and with "less fallout" than
previous versions.
Our New Green Branches continue on into newness by virtue of a stream of
improvements. The ratio of components has been refined considerably. There's
over 400mL of PVA in each sheet of Thick and nearly 200 in each sheet of Thin.
Turf is much better retained. The applied material holds its' shape on the trunk
exactly as intended. Zero drooping (unless you want it to). This means you
receive a superior product that allows you to make great trees with less effort
"than ever before". In fact, I hope it's not too tough! See it here.

Moose Creek Fir Trees
Are Available on Coastmans!
Moose Creek Trees are the best young evergreens we've seen. These vibrant conifers use a fiber matrix armature that imparts a realistic effect to the tree inner core. The proof is in the pictures. |

We are manufacturing in Port Orford, Oregon
Click here for short videos about how we make the tree parts. In one video we
are fine-tuning the tapering of some 9" second growth trunks. Also shown in that
video is the addition of the bark detail and the drilling of holes in the trunks for the
future placement of dead branches. Other videos include how the dead branches
are sorted out and some of the steps for making the older version of green branch material.
