1. 我們每天走在路上都會看到很多樹,但我們可能都過目即忘,不會多看一眼。畢竟樹就是直挺挺的,也不會動,很難吸引我們注意。但是如果你看過馬戲團樹 (Circus trees),你一定無法輕易忽略它們!
![Circus trees were created and developed by Axel Erlandson (pictured). He carefully nurtured these trees to grow into incredible shapes.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/5697635f12d52.png)
2. 馬戲團樹是Axel Erlandson發明並推廣的,他小心地把樹木養成這些奇特的形狀。

4. 《LIFE》雜誌也曾在1957年刊載這種特殊的樹木嫁接方式。
![Even <em>LIFE </em>magazine did an exposé on his unique tree-grafting system in 1957.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/569763602f4cc.png)
5. Axel Erlandson在1964年死於心臟衰竭,但他在生前已將他的培養機密高價售出,所以我們今天還是可以看到這樣的樹!
![Axel Erlandson died in 1964 due to heart failure, but he effectively sold off his secret before he passed away. That means you can still see these trees today!](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/569763609a446.png)
6. 在Axel Erlandson栽培的樹中,有25棵至今還活著。

7. 如果你想親眼目睹這些特別的樹,可以在春夏時到加州吉爾羅伊的Gilroy Gardens欣賞。
