This is the most realistic Noble Fir in the world, professionally strung with the best lights available, guaranteed for life. Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer, the tree is molded from a live Abies procera, or Noble fir, considered one of the most desired holiday trees for its symmetrical branch pattern. The actual branches of a Noble fir were used in the polyethylene injection-molding process to replicate the exact growth patterns and distinct, short, wide, and rounded needle tips of the original tree. The natural look of the trunk is achieved by individually hand-applying resin over a tubular steel core, producing a wood-like grain and texture that mimics real bark. This tree's shape is so realistic, and its needles are so soft, that it was mistaken for a live specimen by tree farmers. Unlike other 
trees that have light strands which fail immediately when one bulb ceases to work, ours has strands of advanced integrated-circuit lights that withstand the failure or removal of multiple bulbs, ensuring bright, clear, reliable lighting year after year, backed by the rather famous Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee of Complete Satisfaction. All light strands are professionally strung, making the cords practically invisible against the branches, and an integrated 8' cord with a foot-pedal switch allows easy operation. Flame- and crush-resistant for years of use and storage, the PE needles on the tree are mixed with PVC tips to soften the overall look and feel of the tree and to add dimension to its layers. All branch hinges have metal pins for added strength at stress points, and the thick wire-gauge branch tips can support larger, heavier ornaments without sagging or drooping. It takes a mere 30 minutes to set up as each section unfolds like an umbrella (a helpful instructional DVD guides set up). Please specify Clear or Multi-colored lights.

Unlike trees found at ordinary tree stands that are already two to four weeks old, these Fraser fir trees are freshly cut within a day of order and carefully packed to retain freshness, then shipped in perfect condition to your door. Specially selected for Hammacher Schlemmer at a tree farm in North Carolina, each deep green tree has a full body, with shaped boughs that hold their needles, and a rich fragrance. To ensure timely delivery, order at least two weeks prior to the Monday of the desired week of delivery.
