Tree Shapes Let’s start here. The shape of the tree can deeply impact the overall style that the tree conveys. A full tree might help it feel more traditional, while a narrow tree could feel a bit more slick and modern. These are just a few examples to start with. Custom designs are available in any width or shape.
