Sad to say, Larson seems to be doing very little of this work these days.
While there are several companies doing artificial trees, I am increasingly convinced that quality of work has more to do with budget than with company. I've seen good and awful from the same companies...but the expensive project got the better trees (and rockwork).

They did the rock work in the Rainforest Pyramid here at Moody Gardens 15 years ago. I tried contacting them a while back & I believe they have been bought out by another company that now makes natural looking cellular phone towers (?)Donita Brannon

The Larson Company has done work for us in the fairly distant past and we’ve seen some absolutely beautiful stuff at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago using artificial tree/vine/rock work; does anyone have any ideas or recent contacts for this type of work? Any company they’ve been pleased to work with?Thanks in advance,LucindaLucinda Grover| Lead Horticulturist1000 East Beltline Avenue NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49525
