We've been lucky.. a 10 meters Norfolk Island Pine tree in our neighbourhood were cut down and we took all the trees with the leaves all for us. then my dear hubby cut some of the trunks to make it as a tendrils spreading trees to let my butternut squash live. but then He worked it out as an wood art for the public park at our neighbourhood.
actually everyone was waiting for a giant butterfly with 4 wings made of wood and wires, but then he just kept changing his mind and finally he made this one and planned to put some of our butternut squash seed there. well said, the ground were not really good for the seed. so I told him just to let it there and we'll find a way to hang some coconut's pots where i plant some ephypillum angulaer and ruby aglaonemas.
I hope that children from our neighbourhood won't take out any branches yet... cause it took time to made this one almost a month with a very limited tools we had.
