Molded from a live Abies fraseri, this is the world's most realistic Fraser fir meticulously strung with the best lights available and backed by The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. Available exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer, it's the only tree with three-dimensional, injection-molded branch tips that replicate the exact growth patterns, flattened, dark green needles, and upturned branches of a freshly cut Fraser fir. The 8 1/2' tree has 5,895 branch tips and each one is handpainted to authentically recreate the lush, soft foliage that has made the Fraser fir the nation's most popular Christmas tree. Unlike lesser trees that require over an hour of shaping, this one sets up in less than 15 minutes thanks to patented wire-lined tips that instantly assume their fullest shape when the tree is unpacked. The 8 1/2' tree has 1,650 LED lights--the LEDs last up to 30,000 hours. An integrated circuit inside each bulb maintains illumination even when another bulb on the strand is removed or broken. The 18-gauge wire branches are the strongest available and easily support large ornaments. Lights are controlled by a foot-pedal switch. Inner branches and trunk are lined with PVC tips for fullness. Trees consist of two to five easy-to-assemble sections and have a foldaway stand. Clear or Multicolored lights. 8 1/2' Fraser Fir. 1,650 LED lights and 5,895 tips. 74" Diam. (88 lbs.)
