Mall Silks News is a monthly newsletter dedicated to providing Mall Silks clients with relevant information about the artificial plant industry.  Mall Silks News features information about current Mall Silks projects, new products, specials and general industry news and information about the replica plant industry. 

The project featured this month was recently shipped to and installed in the atrium of the corporate headquarters of Terra Industries in Sioux City, Iowa.  The vision for this project began in 2008 and it was about a year before the final plans were set.  Mall Silks was initially contacted by the client to perform design services for their facility so that they could visually see the impact of replacing their existing live plants and trees that had slowly degraded over the years. Our graphics designer used photos provided by the client and superimposed images of the proposed Mall Silks materials. The result was convincing to the client and after minor changes to the scope, Mall Silks was contracted to build and install the products. 

Our design team built 3 large multi-trunk Shady Lady Olive trees, multiple custom made bamboo and numerous floor plants for the project. The client had the old material removed prior to the installation and updated the paint color on the planters as well. The materials were shipped along with tools and extra product (just in case something needed repair) and the Mall Silks crew met the semi-truck at the facility to install the product. The installation was completed without any trouble and with time to spare. All together, the project took more than 100 man hours to build, used more than 75,000 Shady Lady Olive leaves and numerous silk plants. It took a full semi to ship the project and 3 days for the installation. Finished actual job photos below:

The bonsai forms made by Mall Silks are some of our most realistic products.  They are made using various preserved or artificial leaves.  This month we would like to focus on our preserved juniper bonsai.  These bonsai are made using either grape wood or dragonwood for the trunks and real naturally preserved juniper branches.  The trunks are fabricated by Mall Silks designers into a structural pleasing bonsai trunk either in a custom made base or a container of your choice.  Then natural preserved juniper branches are added to the trunk using a variety of methods developed by our production team.  The transitions between the trunk and the stems are sculpted and then painted to match the color of the trunk for an artistic finish.  These delicate bonsai forms are extremely realistic and will fool even a trained plant professional.  They are unfortunately only for interior use as the preserved foliage will degrade over time if exposed to direct sunlight.  The best part is that they are virtually maintenance free and will last in great condition for many years with no maintenance. 

They can be made in sizes from small 9” desktop plants all the way to custom sizes over 8’ tall.  Please contact us to learn more about using one of these wonderful bonsais on your next project that requires and Asian theme.  Or if you just want one for your office or showroom.   If you would like pricing or more information about the preserved juniper bonsai, contact us at sales@mallsilks.com, visit our site to send us an inquiry at http://www.mallsilks.com/contact.htm, or call 888-745-5701.
