Classic Needles are made from thin sheets of PVC that are cut into fine strands to resemble natural evergreen needles. Balsam Hill ® uses these resilient, flexible needles as the primary foliage of many of its trees in the BH Classics collection. Classic Needle foliage is also used as a secondary needle type on many of the Christmas trees in our Signature Collections. Classic Needles are soft to the touch and have a superior ability to block light and create a "full" look to any tree which is why Classic Needle foliage is often used in the interior branches of some of our Signature trees.
