Axel Erlandson Tree Molding

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 elaborate 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.
