Description
Our Pine Artificial Christmas Stem is a single tall branch of fine green needles, made in polyethylene and iron, with small cones tucked among its sprays. It measures 91cm long and 20cm across, so it has the height to stand well above the rim of a tall vase while its side branches reach out loosely. A slender, twig-like stalk runs the length of the stem and splits into several needled sprays in its upper half, which gives it the open, airy look of a branch cut from a pine.
We see it as part of the Christmas decorating: one stem on its own in a tall floor vase by the front door, or a few gathered together on a mantelpiece or a sideboard. Because it is a single stem rather than a full arrangement, it also works as the green backbone of a mixed bouquet, giving height and shape alongside other artificial branches and flowers. The long, bare lower stalk keeps the needles clear of the vase, so the sprays sit up and open. At 0.09KG it is very light, so it is easy to move and restyle as the season goes on. It sits happily in a hallway, a living room or at the centre of a dining table, wherever you want the look of pine through the festive weeks.
Polyethylene is a light, flexible plastic, which suits the fine detail of pine needles. Before use, the maker asks that the stem be trimmed and folded into place, and that it be handled with care so the needles are not broken. Bend each spray out to its full 20cm spread. As an artificial stem it needs no watering. For a simple styling note, stand it slightly off centre in a clear glass vase so the line of the stalk shows, and turn it until the longest spray leans towards the room.

It is 91cm long and 20cm across, so it suits a tall vase or a floor vase rather than a small posy jar.
What is the stem made of?
The stem is made of polyethylene and iron and weighs 0.09KG, so it is light and easy to move around a room.
Does it need any preparation before use?
Yes. Before use, the maker asks that the stem be trimmed and folded into place, so bend each spray out until it sits the way you like.

Yes, small cones sit among the needled sprays, which adds to the look of a branch cut from a pine tree.
Is it a single stem or a bunch?
It is a single stem, with several needled sprays branching from one slender stalk. For a fuller display, group a few together in one tall vase.
