The True Needle Process

How we replicate nature with precision.

Our founder studies and photographs trees in their natural environment. We refrigerate real branch specimens at our manufacturing facility and reference them in the development process.

3D branch prototypes are refined until they look just like nature. We use the final prototypes to make production moulds and optimize each mould to remove the slightest imperfections.

Branches are colour-matched against real specimens, and then dipped, sprayed, and hand-painted to produce the true-to-nature look that defines True Needle foliage.

The Journey of a Balsam Hill Tree

Take a peek inside our exclusive process of creating highly realistic trees with our founder, Thomas Harman.

Choosing a Realism Level for Your Tree

Most Realistic

More than 70% True Needle (PE) foliage for outstanding realism.
Incredibly lifelike whether viewed from 30 feet or 3 inches away with Classic Needle (PVC) foliage used near the trunk to enhance fullness.

Realistic

A mix of True Needle (PE) and Classic Needle (PVC) foliage, balancing realism and budget.
True Needle branches compose the more visible exterior of the tree, while Classic Needles form a lush, full interior.

Traditional

Our most cost-effective trees with 100% Classic Needle (PVC) foliage.
Only top-quality Classic Needle for high needle density, reduced shedding, and rich colour that won’t fade.

"This tree is so lifelike, with multi-textured branches and needles, a white under colour to some
of the branches, it is just simply wonderful."
