The top section bends. Angle it into a curl for a storybook silhouette, or leave it upright for a conventional profile - the same tree covers both, and the shape can change from year to year. Note that only the top section flexes; the lower sections are rigid. This 5 ft version carries 216 branch tips on a 3-section frame with a 12 x 12 in base, lit by pre-strung LEDs. The narrow build suits a hallway, a shop counter display or a child's bedroom where a curved top is part of the appeal rather than a novelty.
