Miniature Weeping Willow Tree | Green | 7cm | Pack of 1 - Railway Scenery

Stand a finished tree in your scene in seconds. This single weeping willow is 7cm tall from base to crown, with a black wire trunk and fine green foam foliage that hangs in the drooping curtain a real willow makes. At 7cm it reads as a roughly 6m tree in HO 1:87 and about 11m in N 1:160, so check your own scale against that before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How tall is this tree?
7cm from the base of the wire stem to the top of the crown, as the ruler photograph shows.

How is this different from the 10cm willow?
Same tree in a taller size. The 7cm suits a background row or a smaller scale; the 10cm works as a foreground feature.

Will it suit HO or N scale?
Work it out from the height. At 7cm it stands for about a 6m tree in HO 1:87 and about 11m in N 1:160, both normal willow heights.

How do I fix it down?
Push the bare wire stem into foam, cork or clay. On a hard base, drill a small hole and glue the stem in.
