The Weird Shaped Trees of Axel Erlandson|get 2leep

I know, these weird shaped trees have Photoshop written all over them, but I can assure you they are totally real,
living trees.
As a hobby — the Frankensteinian, bean farmer — Axel Erlandson shaped trees and called them “Circus Trees.” He was
very secretive on how he managed to pull of this bizarre feat and carried out his work behind
screens to protect his secrets from spies. When Erlandson died in 1964 his eleborate efforts to take his secret to
the grave seemed to have paid off, as nobody has been able to recreate his bizarre work ever since.
