SANTA
CRUZ
THE WORLD-FAMOUS
TREE CIRCUS
4654 Scotts Valley Drive, Scotts Valley CA
In 1946, Axel Erlandson, a retired bean farmer,
began grafting and shaping the branches of as
many as fifteen trees together to form living
chairs, ladders, towers, birdcages and spiral
staircases for a total of 66 different specimens.
Axel's living trees are unquestionably the most
sophisticated of their kind in the history of
horticulture.
