I love this whimsical bottle tree!
I have always admired bottle trees and thought it would be fun to add one to my garden. This 13 bottle tree is perfect!<br />It's really well made. As a matter of fact the directions say the bottles will break before the welds do. Excellent directions make for a super easy set up. The hardest part was pounding it into the ground. I was worried that the tree would not go far enough into the ground to be stable, especially with the extreme wind gusts we get, so I found a 2' section of iron pipe that the tree "trunk" fit into, and pounded the pipe into the ground first. Worked just fine.<br />The branches are all the same length, which made for a column shaped tree with regular 750ml wine bottles. A trip to the liquor store solved that problem. I found much larger, longer 2 l wine  bottles that I used for the lowest branches, 1l bottles for the next 2 sets of branches, traditional 750 ml bottles for the next 2 sets of branches, fancy 500 ml water bottles for the top pair and a red 750 ml wine bottle for the single top. It's more pyramidal shaped like a conifer tree. I chose not to spray seal the metal, preferring for it to weather naturally.<br />Quite the whimsical conversation piece. And made by a small company in the USA! There are several sizes and shapes available. Highly recommend.
