Equal parts eerie and elegant, this moody staple is lighting up mantels, entryways, and covered porches across the country. Whether you go all-out haunted mansion or just want a dash of drama, this decorative tree delivers with style and simplicity.

What Is a Black Twig Tree?

A black twig tree is a minimalist, sculptural tree made of faux twigs or branches. Unlike a traditional green tree, this is a Halloween tree designed for spooky displays. Our trees are pre-lit with vibrant LED lights, giving off a captivating, eerie glow that instantly creates a haunted house vibe. They're available in sizes from 2 feet and up, making them a great fit for a variety of spaces.
