Pooktre Art

Peter Cook and Becky Northey
of Queensland,
Australia have a hobby they
call "Pooktre Art.
"

They take living trees and train them to grow into fantastic shapes.  

They live on a wild and beautiful 160-acre tree
farm, but their hobby can
be enjoyed -- on a smaller scale -- almost anywhere.
