Wild Pear Tree 14 cm, 2 pcs

HEKI Wild Pear 14 cm, 2 pcs

Two finished model trees from the German maker HEKI, fourteen centimeters tall. The wild pear differs in shape from a cultivated fruit tree: it grows taller, the crown is narrower and irregular and the tree shows no trace of shaping cuts. That is easy to work with on a model, because a wild pear usually stands alone on a grassy strip between fields or by a lane and is a typical solitary tree of the Czech and Moravian countryside.

Use

• a solitary tree on a grassy strip between fields or by a field lane
• greenery by wayside shrines, crosses and crossroads
• edges of plots and old sunken lanes
• rural landscape with no trace of cultivation
• a tree that stands alone in the landscape with nothing beside it
• greenery on the banks of sunken and old lanes

How to work with the trees

The trees are pushed into a pre-drilled hole or glued by the foot of the trunk. Do not set a wild pear in a row or in an orchard; standing alone is exactly what makes sense for it. Leave taller unmown grass under the tree and perhaps a stone or the remains of a wall, because such trees grow precisely where the ground cannot be plowed. Spread the flattened crown carefully with your fingers after unpacking and leave the outline irregular.

Who the set is for

For builders of rural layouts and dioramas and for modelers looking for a striking solitary tree for open country. This is modeling material, not a toy. The manufacturer marks its scenery products as unsuitable for children under fifteen.
