Absolutely. This playful alternative to a traditional star or angel is roughly the size of a real banana.

And let's be honest, Christmas can be a bit bananas at times.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach banana is handmade and measures approximately 20 × 15 × 1cm, or 25cm in total including the fixing coil. The standard 1cm-diameter coil fits most real trees and narrower artificial trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo attach, gently twist the wire coil around the leader branch, as though plaiting the two together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cotton string is hand-dyed, so colours may vary slightly between batches and from the photographs. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may cause fading. The maker states that all materials can be reused, composted or widely recycled.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"This Thing Is String","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58199365452158,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0381\/8599\/2331\/files\/this-thing-is-string-strinsel-banana-tree-topper-image-2.webp?v=1791831268","url":"https:\/\/radicalliving.co.uk\/products\/this-thing-is-string-banana-christmas-tree-topper","provider":"Radical Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
