It has been three days since my snake's eyes turned back to black. I was wondering how long until the shed starts. Also, he has not left the top of the tree decoration for the past week. Is this all normal?

Just of out blue phase

It's a bit unusual for them to be out in the open during a shed cycle, but not unheard of. You might want to double-check the temps in his hides just to be safe.
As far as the shed goes, it's typically about 4-5 days after the blue phase clears up that the actual shed occurs, but that does vary a bit from time to time (I've had one shed about 1 1/2 days later and another shed that took 7 days before the actual shed).

If on top of the tree decoration is out in the open (i.e. not tucked away in a hide) I would say that's unusual. They feel vulnerable when leading up to shedding, particularly when they're in blue. My girl pretty much stays hidden away until she's done shedding, and I try to leave her alone completely during that little over a week or so that it takes. Should be any time now- make sure that humidity is bumped up a bit. I think 3 or 4 days after clearing up is a pretty good average.

The top of the bush is up to the screen on top of the viv. I have black paper on the side of the tank the bush is up against. That could be considered a hide I guess.
