Re: [aroid-l] Artificial trees

From: Harry Witmore harrywitmore at witmore.net> on 2003.01.11 at 20:12:47(9812) I have tried dogwood but the bark come away quickly and the wood rots after a few years. I think red cedar would do fine but it's hard to locate a tree that look good. They tend to grow straight up. A gnarly oak would fit the bill but I think the bark would rot quickly. +More At 12:41 PM 1/11/2003 -0500, you wrote: Thank you for the incredible photos! I must get to Fairchild soon. I wonder how long a gnarly piece of oak would last in my greenhouse. Has anyone used real wood for a display of this kind?
