I've learned 2 new styles of wire tree since finding that awesome tut here. This is a "naked/bare" style that you "build" from the bottom up. The roots, which you really can't see on this one, are just awesome, so I added a pic of this same tree post planting. LOL I added a few red beads to give it that dying look. Pic 4 shows before I added those when I was still playing with the landscaping. The fence was a bit of work, my mom's kitchen shears tasted my blood that night... It's made of craft sticks and hot glue. The tree is tied down to a piece of chicken wire, which is suspended on the back brace board of the fence, and covered/held in place with duct tape. The whole thing only weighs ounces! The gravel, stones, and beads were all purchased a good old Wally World in their craft dept.
