Bottle tree

19 years ago

I just happened to run across this blog (see below)about bottle trees and thought ya'll might enjoy it...it isn't my blog, and I don't know if the author is one of us, but I thought the history was interesting.

    Hey...I just found y'all when I looked in my statistics on my blog. A friend had e-mailed me a picture of a bottle tree, so I posted it on that blog you are talking about. I discovered it was Cindee's tree, so I'm going to post what she told me about it later this week. Do any of y'all have pictures you want to add? I'd love to have more bottle tree pictures to show. If you would rather not share the picture, you can give me a link or I'll link to your picture, so my readers will come visit you. I'm excited to find out more about the Garden Web!

    Here is my bottle tree. It is always a work in progress. Right now there are tomatoes in and on it. morning glory vines beginning to grow up it and marigolds in front. It will look nice once it fills in. Oh and see if you can find some baby chicks in the picture.:)

    That is a lovely tree, too! I definitely will use it with your permission...Far right? Is that a baby chick...two? So fun. Thank you! Do I call you "eyeballs?"

    Thanks! My screen name is uptomyeyeballs and that is fine, or Kendra works too!
    Yup, you can see the momma hen's rear end and I can pick out four separate chicks. Although there are a total of seven near by and another three with the other momma.

    We used to see a lot of bottle trees when I was much younger,and we figured it had something to do with juju. I'll have to take my camera and drive around,see if there are any bottle trees left. The old "Christmas" tree,we called it,uprooted in the storm,and I seriously thought about making one for myself. I love the look,and maybe it will catch whatever bad juju is floating around :)

    Kudzukween, if you find any pictures, I'm going to update either Friday or Saturday of this week, and will probably be doing it again. I have several folks who read my site who have promised to send me bottles in the mail (I know I could get them elsewhere, but I'd rather have bottles that have meaning). If anybody knows anymore about bottle trees and want to share, or have me link to their site...just say the word. Maybe I can start a movement (lol).
