        50's in Ripley's "Believe-It-or-Not," "Life" magazine 
        as well as other publications in the United States and other parts of 
        the world. These trees represent one of the most visible demonstrations 
        of the love of nature by man - first to create and nourish, then to maintain, 
        and finally to preserve and cherish these stunning creatures.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bonfantegardens.com/circus.html"><P>This botanical adventure began in Hilmar, California in the 1920's when 
        Axel Erlandson (in photo below at left), a farmer by trade, observed the 
        natural grafting of two Sycamores. His first major project consisted of 
        fusing four Sycamore saplings into a cupola that he named the "Four-Legged Giant." Using intricate grafting techniques, Erlandson wove 
        his wonders with threads of living wood. Straight tree trunks became complex 
        and compound designs in shapes like hearts, lightning bolts, basket weaves 
        and rings.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bonfantegardens.com/circus.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.bonfantegardens.com/img/AD75BBB7-1F15-4090-B471-BFF60BB22D7C" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bonfantegardens.com/circus.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.bonfantegardens.com/img/6C901AF6-811D-4666-BE49-598352DC659C" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bonfantegardens.com/circus.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.bonfantegardens.com/img/03F1EC0C-7BCB-451F-8C07-66527642CBDF" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bonfantegardens.com/circus.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.bonfantegardens.com/img/01C77A8D-F46B-4D46-8761-5348C6FD522E" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bonfantegardens.com/circus.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.bonfantegardens.com/img/A99FA7C4-7CF0-4680-9640-01F7AED225F4" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bonfantegardens.com/circus.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.bonfantegardens.com/img/A8E75491-638D-45BB-B1B2-5F73A291E308" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bonfantegardens.com/circus.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.bonfantegardens.com/img/64E53675-EE82-4F71-9652-51848C5D106E" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bonfantegardens.com/circus.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.bonfantegardens.com/img/EDBE1B7A-B98D-4DE7-A86B-30C8D4EB0558" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bonfantegardens.com/circus.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.bonfantegardens.com/img/3579974E-F670-4477-BA5D-7EB2857366CB" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/529E33FD-7FD4-4EC1-8D30-AF769FA3C175/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
