HOW ARE THE TREES PACKED FOR SHIPPING.
Our first step is to tie the tree to a piece
of cardboard.

Our second step is to glue the cardboard
to the bottom of the shipping box.
Then I place a piece of tissue
paper over
the top of tree and styrofoam
peanuts are
packed around the tree. After
this it is
ready to be taped and shipped.
We take a lot of care when we ship
