Living Tree Art

Not one of these trees is real. The trunks and branches are made of brass, steel, or concrete and steel. Trees over 8 feet tall have automatic, programmable watering systems built inside the trunks. Specially designed bolt-on adapters allow for a change in appearance from year to year, or even season to season.
