Manzanita Branches and Display Trees

 

Q. I want to order one of your Manzanita Centerpiece Displays, do I get one manzanita branch or a full arrangement? 

A. The price on our site is for one full arrangement of three manzanita branches, NOT an individual branch.

 

Q. What is the difference between your Manzanita Centerpiece Displays and your Display & Decor Trees? 

A. Our Display & Decor trees consist of a single tree or manzanita branch that has some degree of fullness in itself.  Our Manzanita Centerpiece Displays consist of more than one piece, usually 3, that when arranged together in a vase or other container will give a very full appearance. 

 

Q. How far in advance of my wedding or event should I order? 

A. We suggest you order as early as possible because we can get backed up on orders from time to time.  Seasonal variations and adverse weather conditions may affect our inventory on hand beyond our control.

 

Q. I received my order and some of the twig branches are broken?  

A. It is normal for some of the pieces to break or fall off in transit.  We suggest you remove all the branches, lay them out and inspect them after receiving the box.  If you have any questions, or the box and products are severely damaged, please give us a call or email.

 

Q.  The bark on the Natural Red branches I received are peeling?  Is this normal?

A. Yes.  This is a normal part of the tree's lifespan.  Please just remove the bark and discard.  You will find that once removed, the bark looks like the rest of the tree.

Bird Perches

 

Q. Will Manzanita last in my birds' cage?  Is it a strong wood?

A. Manzanita is one of the toughest woods that nature produces.  It will take even the most destructive bird a while to tear up a Manzanita perch.

 

Q. Should I buy Natural Red or Sandblasted Manzanita?

A. It depends on the type of bird and your personal preference.  We do recommend Sandblasted for Ecclectus or birds that are having trouble gripping.  Sandblasted has a coarser surface texture and is blondish in color.  Please give us a call or email if you are unsure.

 

Q. What diameter size should I buy for my bird?

A. It depends on the type of bird you have.  We suggest that you reference the chart below or give us a call or email if you are unsure or for custom sizes.

 

Small diameter (less than 1.0 inch): Canaries, Finches, Cockatiels, Conures

Medium diameter (1.0-1.5"): African Grey, Amazons, Ecclectus, smaller Macaws and smaller Cockatoos

Large diameter (1.5-2.25"): Cockatoos, Macaws

Extra Large diameter (Over 2.5"): Very Large Macaws
