A couple of my readers suggested that I include a picture of what a complete Poodle Tree looks like so they could get an idea of what I'm trying to do. Good idea! So today I saw a good example and snapped a photo. This tree is slightly smaller than my tree, but you get the idea. I would guess that this Poodle Tree is at least three or four years along, so I've got a ways to go with mine.
I was talking with a lady at a Farmer's Market last week about my tree. She claimed it would never work and that I had probably already killed the tree. "You can't do that with a Scotch Pine." she cackled. I told her I would bring her a picture in five years to prove her wrong. I'm not going back to her vegetable stand anymore this summer. I don't need the bad karma!
