Product Description
A faux Pieris japonica - Japanese andromeda - standing 8 ft (2.4 m), with fine grass-like leaf clusters on a plastic and glass-fibre reinforced frame. Pieris reads softer and more textural than a broad-leaf tree, which is why it lands well in offices, restaurants, retail interiors and covered entrances.
Where does this work best?
In pairs, framing something. The upright narrow habit means two of these either side of a doorway, a storefront window or a reception desk does more work than one placed alone in a corner - the shape is architectural rather than sprawling.
How does it arrive, and how much shaping does it need?
Foliage clusters are compressed for shipping and want teasing apart by hand. Start at the base of each stem and fan the leaf groups outward until the light passes through them; a Pieris that looks flat is nearly always an unfanned one.
Does it need any maintenance?
Dust it, and rotate it if one side faces a window. There is no watering and no leaf drop - a live Pieris is fussy about soil acidity and will brown off in a dry lobby within weeks, which is the whole reason this version exists.
