No, these aren’t from James Whitmore’s garden [1], they are part of the
TCLTC’s next building phase!
There isn’t much to them in terms of building complexity, but I think that
they have a cool effect, especially with figs in close proximity.
Just the facts:
- They are quite heavy, so I needed to insert a stiff metal rod through them to give them enough support to stand.
- They are composed of basically 5 sizes of “rings”. The pics basically tell the whole story, except here is my one little innovation: **Mutilation Alert** I didn’t like the thought of constantly refoliating the trees before and after every show because of delicate branch connections, so I cut flex tubing and inserted it in the branch joints, so as to make the bond between the 2 elements rather robust. You can see hints of some of the blue and black tubing HERE.

John..very cool.As for cutting the tubing MichLTC guys will tell ya a couple of
years back I cut alot of that black tubing for my trees before I changed the
design(now I’m stuck with alot of those cut up tubing)...but looks like I may
have found a use again..good thing I kept them:-) Chris
