Re: thoughts

You could try it, not much to lose. Or how about cutting nearly all the base off, securing them to the floor somehow, and adding mulch. Make 'em look like they are growing out of the floor. You'd really have people guessing.
and use the baskets for something else.

Although most of you will think I am nuts, here is the situation, in more or
less a nut shell.

I had to attend an auction for work this week. The last thing I expected to
see was anything I would personally want... but there they were! Seems this
auto dealership had some fake trees in the showroom. They are your better
than average type, as I did a doubt take thinking they were real from a few
ft away. SO of course, for 10.00 the three of them were mine.

Then I brought them home... oh my, they are ten ft high and my ceilings are
only 9.... and they are a lot wider than I thought too.... they seems much
smaller in that parking lot!

So my choices are:

Cut off a foot from the bottom 'dirt' section, but they might look strange
in the larger wicker baskets containing them (which BTW, are nice baskets)

Or

Plant them outside- thinking by my side window that the cat sits by since
the birdbath and feeders are right outside there. I could never plant a real
birch tree there as it would be too close to the foundation, but an
artificial tree - hum, it would also block the view to the neighbors
window... I could hang the feeders on there, but would the birds like it
rather than the pole they are on now? Just how hokey would this be.... I
figure if they lasted a year or two, what difference would it make... I
would be out my 3.33.....

Thoughts,
Donna
