This leafs come from what is probably the most expansive and time consuming prop that was on the set ( the whole tree not just the leafs) just think about that fact they bought a real tree from a farmer ,took it to a studio, then took it a part, then they took molds and recreated it from plastic wood metal and silicon, then pieced it all together and then glued 200,000 leafs 1 by 1…, then they had to repaint every leaf by hand wile it was already on the tree, crazy!!! Its probably the most expansive tree in the world…
