I saw one of these walking sticks in a nursery last week, WOW is all I can
say. What an amazing tree! I'd love to have one but I'm not sure they'd
survive in Southern California.
And in terms of dwarf trees, what about a Japanese Maple? I was at a
nursery last week with 150 different kinds of Japanese Maples and some of
them were gorgeous!

So goes an old chinese proverb:
If you want to be happy for a few hours, get drunk;
If you want to be happy for a week-end get married;
If you want to be happy for a week, barbeque a pig;
If you want to be happy all your life long become a gardener
