Hi Nick,
The trees are probly between 10-15 metres, the cool thing about them is they only have the very tips of the foilage alive, mainly due to the lichen and moss growth and possum browse.. Really awesome trees and only found in alpine areas, New Zealands only native cedar..

so you want to look at unusual trees, eh?

there's a very large ladder tree on the above site if you look under the "Tree Circus Trees" on the home page. Some of those trees are now at:

I'd love to hear of any impressions from people who have seen these trees.

Re: so you want to look at unusual trees, eh?
Hey I've seen the trees that Axel Earlandson grew.
I've also visited Richard Reams at his home where he is growing a house. He has a water spigot that comes right out of a tree trunk (keeps adding pipe to it).
He also plants saplings through the head of a tool...like an axe or a mattock... once the trunk is the right size he harvests and fairs out the handle. These are apparently amazingly strong...grain is intact through the head unlike machined handles.
I have a friend who, in trying to save a great old tree tried to graft young trees, into the trunk hoping they would take over. It didn't work but I bet it might have if an expert grafter had done the work.
You have got to see these wild tree sculptures to believe them.
Its not to hard to learn how....Scott

This tree looks similiar to some hood ornaments on old cars. Would a specimine like this look cool on a penninsula landscape as an entry feature?
Maybe when Pixar gets around to creating a world like the did in 'Cars'.
