Am on my second box of boxwood (yes this is abnormal) for trees.
Our usual is about 10 trees. So far we have sold all we've done for the cooler with walk in traffic. The hospital sent one to each of their 16 Board of Directors. Since Monday, have done another 10 and just got another order for two more.
Last night I figured out my cog (again) on the "standard" size. COG is $6.53 not counting the 15 minutes to make.
Our deluxe size adds 4 inches and a few more mm balls, loops and adds baby's breath. Our premium size adds another 4 inches and along with basics adds snowdrift poms.
Must be the year for boxwood trees here!!
 
I started doing a few this year and have already sold 10 of them. I only had oregonia to work with, added a few sprigs of holly and then used glitter glue spray and fine artificial snow to give it a flocked look. Only added a remnant of ribbon wound around it like garland, a little bit of red hypericum and topped off with an ornament. Wasn't sure if I was going to like doing them, but they are easier than I thought.
 
Boxwood tree's are and have been a staple for us for decades....

We make them from 16" (one block of Oasis) up to 36" (8 blocks, stacked on end, wrapped in chicken wire) that retail for about $250.00....
