BLOOMS AND BRANCHES EXCLUSIVE! Tall Exotic Grapewood branches have a twisty, deteriorated texture. This wood presents a great driftwood/beachwood look, and makes a beautiful base for fresh or silk flowers. Also great for exotic pet enclosures or large aquariums and aviaries.
These large grapewood branches, along with all of our natural and sandblasted branches, are never treated with any chemicals and are safe around pets.
These branches are between 32" and 36" approximately, and ship in a large custom box. The product photos shown are examples only, and not the actual pieces shipped. All pieces shipped are very similar.
Grapewood wire: Grapewood comes from vineyards throughout
California, and is grown on wire-strung posts. As the vines grow, the
grapewood often envelopes the wire, and sometimes sections of wire
will be found with some pieces (visible or not). If the wire can be
easily removed, our staff will remove it. Otherwise, you can use
strong wire cutters to remove any visible sections.
Natural Branches: Consistently Inconsistent!
When purchasing natural branches such as Manzanita, Curly
Willow, Birch and Grapewood, keep in mind that they are unlike other decorative
branches used for floral design. Each one is an individual shape and
sculpture, and may take on a variety of shapes and variations. Most
professional centerpieces are created using several branches to achieve a
full look, so always consider purchasing additional pieces or fillers.
This needs to be a first consideration when purchasing your branches. It's best to order your branches all at once.
If you place an order today, and another order in a week, you will
nearly always see a difference in the product. This is because the
harvest areas change every 2-4 days, resulting in changes in the
harvested product. No two harvests are ever the same.
