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. |

Completed tree showing
crown & branch die-back. |
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!”
