Thanks Nancy. I have to give credit to the Swarthmore students. They named and planted the first specimen for April Fools. We just embellished on the trick. 😉

Good job, though…

Other than rocks to stabilize the unique circular roots and a hosing down once in a while to keep the berries bright and the needles shining, I can’t think of anything else that needs to be done outside of smiling each time you pass by!

Great job by the future plasticulturists of Swa(r)thmore College!
