Actually, I think the one that TLC sells in bulk is the smaller of the two
most common ones. Right next to the tree is says "Small Spruce Tree" and
also, the small tree has six "layers" of branches, whereas the larger tree has
nine "layers". Also, the small tree's branches are closer to the base than
the bigger one's. Just thought I'd clear that up. Oh, and to answer Andy's
question, the small tree is exactly 4 bricks tall.
