Tree Torture – Stop The Insanity!

May 28, 2009 · 10 comments

Look what is sitting in front of a local garden nursery. Yes, there is a whole row – 4 trees total.

TopiaryTree

This just feels wrong on so many levels. I’m sure the tree is humiliated.

It’s supposed to look like a mushroom, right? They should stick a gnome under it, too.

I know. I feel sorry for it.

It looks like a fairy garden tree, but in too large of a scale. I wonder how often they have to cut it.

Yes, it’s very sad. It reminds me of when our dog Freddy gets a haircut. He’s embarrassed for days. I hope no one stands beside this poor tree and laughs!

Haha- I might like it more if it had a gnome under it- but standing by itself it looks just plain silly. I’m kind of embarrased for the tree/mushroom.

Okay Cindy – I feel bad now. I DID laugh at the tree..pointed too. Then I got out my camera and photographed it. Poor tree. It will need to see a shrink now for sure.

Wow… that’s almost as bad as putting a hot dog costume on your dachshund.
