I have seen it in wreaths but it looks very stiff. The Fraser Fir, balsam, cedars make much nicer wreaths.

I'll be out on our tree farm cutting trees and boughs all weekend and then creating wreaths and arrangements.

I know what you mean about the magnolia... wouldn't it be wonderful to have space to grow trees the way they should be grown!? Actually I just order 30 miniature and dwarf conifers with just that in mind... at least they shouldn't outgrow their allotment! Now... to find time to make all that hyper-tuffa!
