Shaping the tree branches is the last step of assembly. The care
and attention given to this final process will result in a genuinely
beautiful and appealing holiday centerpiece.
1. Every tree style is shipped from the factory with the tips of
each branch compressed to the center (Figure 1).
2. Each branch tip must be shaped to it’s proper position to give
the tree a natural look. This is done by gently grasping the left
and right wing tips and spreading them out away from the
center tip (Figure 2).
3. Each individual tip should then be spread out separately. Tips
should then be bent slightly upward to add a more natural
looking appearance. Figure 3 shows a typical tree branch after
shaping.
The branch tips of Hook-On trees should be shaped prior to
attachment to center pole. The tips of Hinged and Wrapped trees
should be shaped after they have been lowered.
Branch tips should be carefully pressed back toward center tip
when tree is disassembled for storage in original carton.
