For guidance only, compared with a molded plastic pine garland in the same price range.
Most artificial garlands give themselves away from across the room: the needles are molded in one flat plane, every sprig is identical, and the green belongs to no plant that ever grew. This one is cast from real cypress-cedar, so the fans sit at different angles and the color shifts from deep green to a paler tip. Six feet covers a standard mantel; twelve, with the second one free, does the mantel and the doorway. It arrives compressed — you fan the branches once, hang it by the loop, and the decorating is done. In January it folds flat and waits. A Déniche find, the kind we like.

Cedar, not bottle-brush.
What gives a cheap garland away is the needle: one flat plane, every sprig the same, a green that belongs to no plant. The Everpine™ is molded from real cypress-cedar sprigs, so the fans sit at different angles and the color runs from deep green to a paler tip.
It reads as real from across the room and it still holds up at arm’s length — which is the distance people actually look at a mantel.

Twelve feet goes further than you think.
Six feet is enough for a standard mantel, with a little left to fall at each end. Twelve, with the second one free, covers the mantel and the doorway — or runs a single continuous line down a stair rail.
They join without showing it: overlap the last few inches and twist the wire stems together.

Up in a minute, down in a minute.
Each strand ends in a wrapped wire loop. A nail, a cup hook, a banister spindle — anything holds it, and there is nothing else to buy.
The stem is wire the whole way through, so it bends around a corner and stays put. In January it folds flat, back into the box it came in.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does it shed?
No. The foliage is molded onto the stem rather than glued on in tufts, so nothing drops on the mantel or the table.
Can it go outside?
Under cover, yes — a porch, a covered doorway. It is not made to sit in the rain or in full summer sun for months on end.
Does it look fake up close?
The foliage is molded from real cedar, so it holds up at arm's length. At ten centimetres you can tell it is not a plant, like any artificial greenery.
How do I hang it?
By the wire loop at one end, on a nail or a hook. The stem bends along its whole length, so you can shape it around a corner and it stays.
How do I store it?
Fold it flat back into its box. No water, no light, nothing to do until next December.
