prosthetic tree limbs

bigshea13

how do you think a prosthetic limb would work. probably work best for evergreens. the decidious would have to be changed with the passing of the seasons. they would be useful in the event that a nearby tree is removed revealing a bare section or for numerous other reasons. from a distance an airbrushed composite limb would blend right in, especially if you didnt know it was there.
the delima would probably lie in attachment. maybe a few lags{could be too invasive} maybe straps, but that could cause damage also. maybe with some tweeking either could work. heck, one could probably go as far as using a prosthetic top for storm damaged trees. hell how about an entire fake tree? just a thought.

I guess we could call that "lateral" thinking.

Well done for Shea for speaking your mind.

The recently departed Arthur C. Clarke (author of 2001 a space odyessy) is credited with the idea of telecommunications satellites.

He came up with idea long before space travel was heard of, people probably thought there was no merit in his idea either.

I Helped run a landscape install crew for a local business owner probably one of the larger business around . This lady the (owner) had huge company party every year .This year she was having it at this house which was not quite finished yet so I had a crew that was helping planting for few months remember this is a residential house I had crew 4 plus me and the company had like 6 or 7 of there own people .I probably installed more different types of plants on this property than I have in my life . They these 2 big oaks installed before a few years before anything else 7to 8inch caliper well a few before the grand opening party of this one died . So they ordered a bunch of boxes of plastic leaves and glued them on . They had some sod die and turn brown so sprayed it with green paint.
