FREE: Twisty Baby Tree - 15 Seeds

The listing, Twisty Baby Tree - 15 Seeds has ended.

These are very interesting trees that are grown up here in Idaho, especially in the Sun Valley area where all the stars and billionaires live. I don't live there but my daughter works there and she had to have one for her house so we bought a 2' tree for over $50 way over 10 years ago. It is now about twice the size of her house and has seedlings all over. It is her second home which she is fixing up and in another town so I haven't seen it much in the last few years so I was really surprised to see it's size now! It is grown for it's beauty in both it's growing pattern with it's twisted branches and graceful leaves.
