branches all are there. Looks like Pom poms are pushed the wrong way from improper storage. I’ve heard that can be corrected by banding the branches for a season with rubber bands. I’ve also read some folks saying that certain trees had this type of Pom Pom’s originally but I cannot attest to the accuracy of that statement. . . This tree comes with original box with honeycomb branch holder interior. The original pole and stand. It isn’t perfect by any means but seems pretty solid and with a little TLC will be a fabulous vintage tree many more seasons. The box is kinda rough and the price reflects the less than perfect condition. Priced for quick season sale! I counted branches but lost count as ai had many trees to list I thing it was 68-78? They are all there. Thanks for shopping small!
