Re: [aroid-l] Artificial trees

I have tried dogwood but the bark come away quickly and the wood rots after a few years. I think red cedar would do fine but it's hard to locate a tree that look good. They tend to grow straight up. A gnarly oak would fit the bill but I think the bark would rot quickly.

Thank you for the incredible photos! I must get to Fairchild soon. I wonder
how long a gnarly piece of oak would last in my greenhouse. Has anyone used
real wood for a display of this kind?
