From the original crop report

The source explains removing dogwood leaves by hand for early red-stem sales. It lists twenty-four-inch tips, three-to-four-foot medium and five-to-six-foot tall grades.

Details from the farm

The historical bundles contained ten bunches, with approximately ten stems per tips bunch, eight to ten medium and six to eight tall. These numbers describe the old program rather than current packing.

Seasonal context

The embedded Christmas list includes flocked pine, fine-twig wreaths and specimen branches with horizontal structure. Its fourteen-day lead time was a historical requirement; check today’s Christmas list.
