Large Ficus Trees
Our featured Mall Silks project this month was sent to Edmonton, Alberta Canada for a commercial installation. Earlier this year, a representative from the West Edmonton Mall called Mall Silks to discuss the possibility of building 10 large Ficus trees for their facility. The client contracted with Mall Silks to design and custom manufacture 10 large, natural trunk, Ficus trees. All 10 trees were matching sizes of 18' tall above the floor level.  An extra 18" of trunk was left at the base of the trees in order to install them into 18" deep floor planters. Custom 450 pound, 22" diameter bases were manufactured for the trees to be installed into. After the trees were finished being built, they were shipped to Canada for installation. The trees were to be installed the end of last month into floor planters at the mall. The trees took approximately 400 man hours to build. There were approximately 189,000 leaves used for the canopies. 30 large maple trunks and numerous fabricated limbs were used to make the trunk structure.

(These trees aren't to be confused with our "Shady Lady" Olive Trees!)

We believe that our replica Black Olive trees are a one-of-a-kind creation and that Mall Silks is the only company in the world manufacturing these trees. We start with a freshly harvested real Black Olive tree from a tree grower in Florida. It is hand selected and then shipped to our facility.  The tree goes through a drying process that we have developed to ensure that the tree is properly dried and that it keeps the best shape possible. Then individual black olive leaflets are added to every original stem on the tree. Adding these small leaf parts one by one is very labor intensive and is what largely contributes to their expensive cost.  But it is also what contributes their amazing realistic look as well. These trees are all a one of a kind work of art and have been used in prestigious locations all over the US.  If you would like to introduce your client to a superior quality artificial tree that will look exceptionally great all year round call a Mall Silks design consultant to acquire more information.  Our replica Black Olive trees come in sizes from 6’ up to 20’ tall. Visit here to see examples of these exceptional trees - http://mallsilks.com/black_olives.htm

Mall Silks recently added a product image downloads page to its website. We have had numerous requests for product images and now it is a reality. The majority of our products are listed; however we will be continuously adding more products as photos are taken. Here you will find most of our products in a .jpg format. You can use these high quality images to present products to your client in a presentation or an e-mail. Or, you can drop them into graphic design software such as Photoshop in order to add images to pictures of the space that you are designing. A picture is worth a thousand words and we like to think that in your case, our pictures could be worth a $1,000 dollars or more! Feel free to use them for your proposals, presentations, etc. All that we ask is that you use our products when it comes to sourcing the artificial trees and plants for the job. Also, if you do not have the ability to create your own digital designs, we can help with that as well. 

Visit our digital design page on the Mall Silks website to see examples of our work. This design work does take time and is very valuable information for our clients. It could mean the difference between winning and loosing a project. We do charge a fee for this service but it is determined on a per job basis as some projects require more work than others. 

We look forward to having our images used to help make it easier for you to sell our products. To visit our product images download page, visit - http://mallsilks.com/downloads.htm To visit our digital design page to view our digital rendering capabilities, go to this link - http://mallsilks.com/digital_design.htm.
