Shop keeper and owner, Alice Howard, said the wall hangings were worth the price tag as they needed to be sourced and hand crafted.

She even had some of them hanging on her wall at home.

The 29-year-old said: “They are made by a friend of my mum in Devon, he doesn’t sell them to me very cheaply.

“I think they take about 20 minutes to make.

“He has to source the wood because not all branches have the right notches.

“Then he has to sand them off and plane the back to give them a nice finish, then add the holes, so that’s what makes it a product so to speak and not just a stick.”

Botanique is situated on Stoke Newington’s Church Street, just yards from Clissold Park, which has large open spaces and mature trees. With branches. And sticks.

Alice’s first shop opened five years ago in Clerkenwell, where the sticks were first on sale, branching out with the new store in Stoke Newington in the last couple of months.

A customer at the shop also thought the wall hangings were barking up the wrong tree.

Local John Hawkes, 49, said: “That’s pretty steep for a stick, I’m sure I could find one on the floor myself and drill a hole in it and save myself nearly £20.

“Maybe I should start selling them myself.”
