Had never heard of these till I saw one on gtags. I read that they have flexible branches that turn upward at the ends. Like the branch formation. Great choice Kerry. 💚

That’s cool 😎 I’ve seen some here and they are very unusual and intriguing. I want one too. 🤩

There’s a couple of these in the village they’re beautiful but razor sharp! 😍💚

@hkyfvr they’re crazy things! At a decent size they look incredible but remind me of those blow up things outside of car dealerships 🤣🤣🤣

@philstalder there’s a full sized one on my village, over 2 storeys high, and it looks amazing! When the cones come it looks even more special 🤩 super violent spikes though 😝

@mich they really are quite a sight aren’t they! And you’re right about razor sharp 😂 even potting it up was a task 🙈

@KOutdoors so sad they cut it down 😞 they’re so unique looking that it’ll be hard to fill the space with anything else 😐

I love those blow up guys. At least they have no sharp spikes. 😆

They’re gorgeous Kerry the big one at the start of the village is gorgeous lit up at Xmas…aye they’re nippy babe take care with it!! @kez001uk

@hkyfvr need a hybrid - a crazy arms guy in the shape of a monkey puzzle tree! 🤣

@KOutdoors I dread to think how many years it would have been there for 🙈 more than our lifetime I expect 🤯
