Pretty amazing piece of design.....

Looks great now. Would look amazing in flower.

Someone's a fan of right-angles

Wow, what a great sculptural piece. I know they would grow fast there but the patience and cultivation is breathtaking.

This tree is interesting and I think I like it. I tend to prefer naturalistic styles, but the consistency in the branching is quite stunning. I wouldn't want this to become a trend, but having one tree like this exist out there is pretty cool.

I love it, (except fot the ornament)

Gerard, the ornament puts the tree into a relationship with the human world. We may think tacky, the Chinese think poetic suggestion. The shape and intensity of the branch shaping reminds me of a brush painting style I can't identify - this tree seems to reflect into the wider world of Chinese art. Thanks for posting.

One word popped straight to my head when I saw this.

Digital. I really am hypnotised by the lines and angle changes....

Missed those two little flowers at the top

It won again first place this year in an exhibition in China...The branches remind me a bit of the instant chinese noodles.
