From time to time, customers will ask us about the sustainability of the products we sell, such as Manzanita and Birch. The answer is simple: all of our natural products are harvested under very strict harvesting permits issued by the US Forest Service, within very specific harvest areas that are constantly changing. The guidelines for the actual harvest method is also strictly monitored, and actually assists in the governments' environmental management and fire abatement programs.

Every Manzanita branch is unique. The Manzanita photo for this product is a random example and is not the actual piece shipped.

Natural Branches: Consistently Inconsistent!

When purchasing natural branches such as Manzanita, Curly Willow and Birch, 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.

Returns on harvested products (branches): Nearly all floral suppliers will not offer returns on harvested material. We do offer a limited return window. Please see our return policy for more information.

Adapting Manzanita for Non-Centerpiece Use: Our branches are harvested specifically for centerpiece use, and our suppliers are instructed to harvest the most symmetrical pieces available. They are generally not suitable for hanging on a wall, or placing flat against a vertical surface. Symmetrical pieces must be CUT OR TRIMMED for other specific uses. We DO NOT GUARANTEE that any cutting or trimming techniques will adapt your branches for the intended use.

The following characteristics of manzanita branches are naturally occurring, and are a part of working with the material.

Characteristics of Sandblasted Manzanita:

• Shape: shapes vary with each piece, harvest area, and time of year.
• Branches: Sandblasting removes 20% to 30% of the smaller branches, all of the red bark, and a thin portion of the ivory colored wood underneath the bark. The branches are sparse as a result.
  
• Size: sizes are approximate and vary with each piece, harvest area, and time of year.
• Bark: the natural red bark is removed in the sandblasting process, leaving the ivory wood exposed. The ivory color may appear in different shades depending on the piece, harvest area, and time of year. Freshly sandblasted branches may have a bright honeydew shade, which is a remnant of the red bark, and dissipates to ivory usually within days. Brown or reddish grains and ribbons may or may not appear in each individual piece, depending on the particular characteristics of each piece.
• Age: Manzanita branches last indefinitely. Cracks and splits will occur as the wood naturally cures, however this will not cause them to break in half, fall apart, etc.
• Leaves: leaves are mechanically or manually removed, depending on the current season, harvest or time of year.
