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. 
 

In this project profile, we showcase one of our most popular items, Bamboo.  Specifically our “wild bamboo”. The client contracted with Mall Silks to furnish multiple units of bamboo for an interior bamboo forest project. The bamboo were to be made in 14 separate clumps with three stalks per clump. The individual clumps will be planted in an in ground planter to resemble a bamboo forest. The bamboo trees were made using our own bamboo trunks that had been harvested locally and dried on our facility. 

The wild bamboo is made by leaving some of the natural stems of the bamboo attached to the trunk to create a more natural look. Then artificial foliage is added to the stalks meticulously and artistically by our designers. For this project, 42 large bamboo poles were used to construct the entire forest. More than 60,000 inherently fire retardant leaves were used to foliate the bamboo. The project was manufactured and delivered to the client on schedule.

A "Diseased" Maple Tree for the Pennsylvania Dept. of Agriculture
Mall Silks recently had the opportunity to work with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture to produce a Museum Series Maple Tree. Now here is the twist. This maple tree was needed to depict symptoms of attack by the Asian Longhorned Beetle! There were eight specific symptoms, and in addition to these symptoms, there was a request to have the tree be able to be broken into manageable parts to allow it to be transported to various locations across Pennsylvania as a “traveling” display.

The first stop would be the Pennsylvania Farm Show in early January. The tree was over 7’ tall and wide.  The 18” trunk, covered with our molded bark, was attached to a custom fabricated steel base plate.  The client was very pleased and has stated that, “The tree was a huge success at the Farm Show” and praised our “Tree Artists” for a great job...“If you can imagine it, we can build it!”
