- Can you tell this tree is fake? 🥸 While we have many living trees in the Conservatory, building an artificial tree allows us to create a disease-resistant space to display epiphytic plants like ant plants. Learn more about how we put together one of these trees with Bryce!

Huh….that’s pretty accurate.

I love how hes like "we make these trees out of pool noodles" and barely touches on the custom fabbed metal skeleton that does 99% of the work, the pool noodles are basically just filler
I know! I watched because I’d love to make a fake tree for my apartment patio but this was a useless video.
@@lbec9487 step 1: have a $10,000 budget 😂
99% lmao. You don't know what you're talking about.
But saying we made a artificial tree out of metal skeleton wouldn't make you watch till the end and then comment

It's a thing called:
"Exaggeration enhances
the understatement"...
This feels so dystopian
Not really imo. “Dystopian” is such a buzzword now lmao. Plants, especially trees don’t just do whatever you want. This is just a way to have trees that specifically accentuate a certain area. As long as like a 3rd of the trees aren’t pool noodles covered in bark it’s a non issue. It’s not like this is a new thing, humans have been doing stuff like this since humans started caring about how things look.

Do any of you even read??? These fake trees with real bark are specifically designed to help parasitic plants that grow on real trees in the wild. If you don't like it, then go hate on ALL of gardening and stop eating anything plant-based, because any kind of plant-growing requires strategies like this.
Dystopian my ass. The only thing dystopian around here is the educational level of all these submoronic adults. People like you should submit themselves to the Huntington as a Missing Link exhibit.
It would be worse to have actual rotting logs erected in an exhibit. Rotting logs rot and fall, injuring and killing people. This is a safe way to exhibit epiphytic plants in a busy botanical garden. Plus, cork bark is a renewable resource (and if you're worried about cork bark, one of the top consumers of the material is the film industry, which uses the ground bark as flammable shrapnel in explosions for movies. Now that's wasteful!)
People are missing the point. This is not to take the place of a real tree rather its to make a home for certain plants and making the base look like a real tree in order to blend in. Many real trees would not like plants and moss growing on them. This solves that problem.
I'm not missing the point because they are never stating in the entire video why are they faking a tree in a botanical garden. It's like a museum worker showing me how to fake modern art and now I'm left with "so why would I trust anything in your museum now?"
@@Seefood73
You can’t find natural trees with the exact shapes and sizes needed to display the other plants/orchids.
Not without spending decades to prune and sculpt/“bonsai” a living tree.
@@Seefood73 thats your fault to not think outside the box 😂
I didn't even feel Untrustful from hearing its made out of that way. I've been in many botanical gardens or zoo's that have trees looking like fake and half real and I wondered what is it.
Its cool now that its created like this
The description does say the fake tree is for the display of epiphytes @@Seefood73
Read that again and tell me you’re not crazy? I think you missed the point.
When scientists say we need more trees, that's not what they are talking about.
It’s a botanical garden… it’s indoors. Trees require a lot of space for roots so botanical gardens usually don’t have many actual trees. It’s just impossible to do that in an indoor space. More trees outside is definitely a good thing but we still have to consider the space they take up you can’t just plant a tree anywhere.
Dangit, now I can’t even trust the trees to be real. Now I’m gonna have to test the trees Minecraft style and punch them hard enough to split my knuckles
😂😂
watch out for the steel framework!
trees are not real, the government is spying on us using trees. And it are used to recharge spy bird drones.
Right? Even the trees aren’t real! 😢
Birds aren’t real.
These are the same techniques that reptile people use to make terrariums look like a piece of the animal's native habitat. I've played around with all the materials except the pool noodles
What are these reptile people you're talking about like mark Zuckerberg reptile people or reptile people reptile people
@@firdauswahab8485probably both. so zuckerberg and iguanas can both feel at home in their native environment.
Yes, but there it feels less disingenuine, instead it's a good effort of trying to make a wall not be too much like a wall. They add as much live plants as they are capable of.

@@emclovin6962 Indeed. Zuck would be hard to make a terrarium for because of the opposable thumbs and size
Been paying for the botanical garden to see pool noddles ...😐 cool
There's a ton of real trees there. It's not all the trees are made from pool noodles. Besides, the fake trees are only there to create a disease-resistant habitat for epiphytic plants! They have a lot of rare trees and big beautiful outdoor trees too.
@@Mizu-AMthe orchids live shorter lives than any normal tree would lol
@@Mizu-AM lmao disease resistance too, ofc its resistant its not alive. if your tree dies just move the orchids.
@@OsirusHandleI don't get why ppl like you complain so much "I didn't pay just to see a fake tree" it's a fricking fake tree used for air plants,orchids/other, plus do you think these fake trees are just the only thing you will see in a botanical garden??? Yall should be lucky they're using Pool noodle instead of throwing it away, "yeah but a real dead tree would be better" until it rots and harbors pests?? Now that is when you should be complaining.
@@OsirusHandle They mean for other plants lmao.
Everyone: “It was fake…? 😰”

It looks fake as Fuk, get you some glasses, or some thicker ones, four eyes
well no shit it is he didn’t even cut off the zip ties 🤦🏻♀️
*THIS* is what a real tree looks like 😤🌳.
Do you think that trees and plants get the same “uncanny valley” like humans? They’re like “whoa. who da fk is this?😳”
😂😂😂
Hahaha love to ponder this
“All we use is pool noodles!” I think you missed the part you had someone weld up the entire skeleton of a fuckin tree before hand.
radiohead warned us abt this fr
I like how the large steel structure is just glossed over
Why?
So they can plant epithytic orchids, and a real tree will take a long time.

The exact comment I’m looking for
I was about to comment this
a shame but americans seems not to have the same feelings about polluting ...
Wow
It wears me out 😓
This is a trend started 10-15 years ago in greenhouses in many USA botanical gardens, the climatron in St Louis, Missouri has some as well.
Of course! Had to be the US of A
but why? 😭 why does everything have to be faked? 😂
Keep it in the USA, the world doesnt want or need it
@@mehujaakarhu3233 Cork bark is one of very few woods that doesn't rot in humid conditions, and is sustainability harvested from cork oaks (which regenerate their bark). It's safer than putting up a real rotting log in a rainforest exhibit, where it could decay, fall and smack a visitor.
@@emmaobrien1376sadly cork trees are on the endangered list, so no not sustainability harvested, have you ever been to Ireland? I thought not. I bet you believe your fair trade cocoa is brought from cocoa farmers paid a living wadge?
How did you design the shape and build the framework? And is the bark of a specific tree for material purposes or is it of the type of tree that the shape is trying to mimic?
The bark looks like the bark of a cork tree. It's porous and light so it won't fall over from the weight as easily
The framework looks like it was welded together. I’m wondering how to source the framework and the bark because it would be such a cool thing to build a tree like this in my house and have it leaf out with pothos or philodendron.
This video changed my life😂 as someone from a rain forest; I absolutely would have assumed the tree was legit 😮
its not like everything in the garden is fake guys and it has real plants on it lol (also there is literally tons of real trees there lol, this is made for other plants. also do you really want to grow a tree stump just to cut it all down to make something like that, or make a fake tree specifically for those plants?)
So if I tell someone "We're gonna go to the zoo!" And the ducks are real, but the elephants are fake, is that worth a full price ticket?
@@candlelitpeppermintcarniva8509 🤡
@candlelitpeppermintcarniva8509 Jesus christ, be realistic! This is to show of epiphytic plants. Very few people have enough time to grow a tree for years. It's just a fancy planter and in my opinion looks a lot better than just putting the orchid on a small piece of bark and calling it a day.
@@candlelitpeppermintcarniva8509 thats not really the same, as the comment below said. its just a habitat for plants.
also this rlly the only "fake" thing which still has living stuff on it
The people complaining about it not being real and "dystopia" never actually go to botanic gardens lmao.
in what county exactly are these botanical gardens you're talking about? from where I am, you could just see how the roots are running over the other 😅
@@dundermifflinscranton almost every bigger botanical garden has at least one fake tree, they're just well hidden
My husband made a 12 foot tall fake tree for our daughter’s room. He didn’t use any real bark. I think he made the texture of the bark out of the filler foam you used, or something like it and then painted it with multiple different brown and black paints. He took apart two fake trees that were in my office and used the branches from that for the tree limbs and leaves.
This tree is awesome
ok but for interior design reasons this goes crazy i can finally make a tree branch bed a reality without having to worry about the weight
Why not use a real tree ??? Not foam and crap
Because it allows them to create new structure instantly, without years, to grow epithytic plants, such as orchids, and more
It would be good to build a jungle stage for a movie.
This is like those drawing tutorials thats like "step 1: use pool noodles, step 2 make tree" hahahha
So the tree is basically made out of pool noodles and tree.
Sickening
the purpose is to protect the other delicate plants around it there are plenty of real trees
True story
The Lorax
I have a lot more appreciation for how much work goes into this
If you keep doing this, you’re going to attract a Lorax!
😂 ❤
This is very sad
the purpose is to protect the other delicate plants around it (like orchids) there are plenty of real trees that are smaller. if this tree was real the roots would destroy the building because it is to big.
I seriously fucking hope this is not a botanical garden or something… what the hell is the point?
It is a botanical garden! Wtf
A fake tree could be used as an educational tool. For teaching kids about endangered species of trees or those not native to the region.
It also provides a safe way for people and kids to enjoy climbing without causing harm to trees or damaging animal habitats.
@@arthurmarcil6787 this is upsetting to me the botanical garden here just cut down its 70’ tall palm tree.. what is happening to these places… I don’t pay $30 to see fake trees
It allows us to create a disease-resistant habitat for epiphytic plants like orchids and ant plants in our Conservatory.
@TheHuntington don't they need a real alive tree?
That bark is the first harvest from a "quercus suber", you can harvest it when it's 72cm perimeter at chest level (1,3m), usually 20 to 25 year old tree.
Then you can harvest a second time after 9 years for a slightly better bark.
Another 9 years later you can harvest cork!
And that is how a milenar tradition is wrapped around pool noodles!
That frame work is ridiculous.
Thought this was gonna be a "and you can too"
type situation
That’s the dumbest waste of materials I’ve ever seen. Just plant a real tree for the love of god.
They have a lot of real trees there, this tree is just there to creat a disease-resistant habitat for other plants to anchor on to.
And wait 15 years for it grow 😂?!
I want my plants made in china, give God a break.
@@Mizu-AM plenty of plants and trees are naturally pest and disease resistant. This just seems gross.
@@yungpm I don't see how it seems gross when it looks on-theme whilst providing a quick and easy benefit. Additionally they do have other rare trees in that same space.
What a shame
the purpose is to protect the other delicate plants around it (like orchids) there are plenty of real trees that are smaller. if this tree was real the roots would destroy the building because it is to big.
Now I can't even believe the tree outside is even a real tree...
🎵in thneedville we manufacture our treeeeeeeeeees...🎵
Jus plant a tree lol
You should be happy they're recycling or using pool noodles in a non harmful way rather than it being thrown away or possibly getting into the ocean
You are talking as if trees grow in a week
@StarVase uh no, they are just buying more, which causes them to make more lol
@@couldas which causes them to use more and waste nothing
The idea is that this garden exhibit is dedicated to hanging plants that usually chill out on trees. If they use a real tree, then both the tree and hanging plants need to stay healthy to exhibit the hanging plants. That makes it much more likely for the plants to die
Companies after we tell them they're getting rid of too many trees
Leave it to a botanical garden in LA to use cheap plastic filler instead of just keeping things natural.
it's indoor. they have plenty of trees outside to look at
Even the nature reserve ain’t real. That’s a real shame
Cuz its for endangered epyphitic orchids😊
Amazing work on making the tree. it looks really good! a bit of a stretch to say its "made" of pool noodles tho. It seems like a lot of non-pool noodle things are doing a lot of the heavy lifting x3
When you say it is made of pool noodles and then we find out that pool noodles are barely a part of the tree...
You could use a pipe insulation it is already cut down the line like that and it is practically the same material as a pool noodle
I wanna say that stuff is cheap too! Idk, been a while since I've had to buy it. Pool noodles are a cheap option for sure!
Not as cheap as $1 pool noodle
😂😂😂 and pollute planate earth even more with plastic pollution 😂😂😂
please don’t slice into me
The guy who made pool noodles has to be crazy rich. Ive seen these things used every where but a pool
Not doing what it's intended for Always a pool noodle.
Thats a LOT of plastic (the results are great looking, ofc); surely you could use natural loofahs (presuming they grow nearby enough); would be cheap, solid enough to carry the outside bark etc. and not a pile of plastic.
Also they'll have a more natural shape to them than lining up your various cylinders as well as having the option to "shave" (or cut) down areas as needed, for the look youre aiming for. You could also look into using natural fillers that could mean, essentially, if you slipped (or smashed) out the metal parts (which you could use again), you could compost ALL of the rest of the fake tree, when it eventually breaks (then it can breakdown too).
As far as i know (I'm in Ireland), loofah trees grow quick and well, and although de-seeding can take time and effort, I'd imagine if you were already ensuring a dry interior, and the loofahs are going in dried, then I'd wager you could get away with not being too perfect with your de-seeding, and you wont have to worry about your tree internally sprouting more trees?!
I'd expect a local producer would do a deal with you for wonky etc. loofah sponges, or ones less "processed", at a cheap price, because (if?) you will (partially, for weight if nothing else) de-seed them yourselves etc?!
Recycling plastic is a good thing. It’s actually being used instead of sitting in the dump. But tbh it’s really weird and kinda sad that we want to replicate nature instead of just embracing it.
Fully agreed that existing plastic should be recycled, but unless they're scouting around swimming pools daily looking for discarded pool noodles, my guess is they're buying the noodles new.
I'd expect that would be using way more resources than it takes to grow loofahs!
I re-listened to the video there to check, and they dont mention that the pool noodles they use are recycled, and their visable labels suggests to me they're brand new, bought to make the plastic trees (even if the manufacturer uses some recycled materials, it still seems unnecessary here) :(
Also agree that real trees are the way to go, but I can understand how it's possible (and necessary given they're pretty immovable) for applications like film making, that fake (light enough to be safely transported) trees could have a purpose; I just think they could, and should, make them out of compostable materials.
I would say they could definitely make a bamboo frame as light, and as strong, as the thin wires they use now. They could pack it with loofahs instead of pool noodles (which cut so easily they could use those instead of the filler too), and then use their bark(already bidegradeable) and coconut husk fibres (same), with a plant based resin, to seal and glue it all together, so it will look as seamless as the result they are getting now; but that way it doesn't have to be destined for a landfill when it eventually breaks beyond repair etc.
Another reply that I can't seem to see anymore said this:
Maddie B.
Natural loofahs decay and rot over time and would not be secure. This will be a moist environment long term. This is also being created as a hygienic and safe platform for orchids and other aerial plants to anchor on to be seen better.
I'm not sure why this person thinks loofahs are moist enough to rot any faster than the coconut husk and regular bark they already use; a quick google tells me that loofahs last as long, if not longer, than both of those things, anyway!
And I'd expect loofahs are not unhygienic (definitely not more than bark) but also, they'd all be sealed inside the tree like the noodles are, anyway!
Also also, there are natural materials available which are hygroscopic, so can absorb moisture to prolong the life of the tree. They could literally set the tree trunk over a tub of salt, and it would have an internal humidifier that would work for the whole tree as I'd say the loofahs would allow internal circulation better than pool noodles would!
I would LOVE to see a video like "how we make an all -natural fake tree" rather than "here's how we use loads of plastic to make this natural looking tree" :(
@@gillianboateI mean pool noodles last for ever
@@epicsushi5817Sure, and that's the problem!
@@gillianboate Well it’ll sustain a cheap pest resistant habitat for epyphyites
Where did you get all that bark😄
I would actually be concerned if you have anything in your home made from wood.
@@Mizu-AM there were many but I personally hate non- metals
The local ER calls the condition “noodle hand”, it’s a condition similar to “avocado hand”
One massive point this man should have made is that this isn’t any type of bark. It’s Cork bark. Do not go outside and strip any other three. You are essentially killing that three if you do.
Why not just plant a real ass tree
because a real tree could be damaged and the fake ones can be replaced, and is for housing epithytic plants. And there is real trees.
Wow and it looks amazing too
It feels like I'm just one step away from finding out that the entire so called rainforest is actually this. I'll take it slow for a while... 😊
Not me being amazed at the botanical garden thinking about how many decades it took for the tree to take shape like an arch. Very cool though
Have you heard of a living tree made out of wood
Yes they had.
A sad truth about us humans is that we kill real trees to put up fake trees. 💔
this treeis just there to create a disease-resistant habitat for their epiphytic plants
The sad truth is that absolute morons write absolute shit before educating themselves. Not only are no trees killed to provide for the bark for these fake trees, but these fake trees are designed to give a safe home to parasitic plants.
Folks, this is why you should never give birth in a parking lot. Your baby could hit its head on the concrete on the way down and then wind up posting idiotic comments like so many of the people here.
That's cork bark, which is harvested without killing the cork oak and is an extremely renewable resource.

The cork trees will heal, same with other plant, if given proper care.
Imagine how many trees died just so you can have a house to live in. People really like to pick and choose sides.
They’re cork, they literally aren’t damaged in a meaningful way at to get that bark lmfao

Somehow a fake tree in a botanical garden greenhouse doesn’t seem right.
Ewwww
I was okay with this until I found out it’s a botanical garden. I’m there to see plants. Not pool noodles. I understand having a bunch of trees is prolly hard but it’s disappointing
They said on another thread: "It allows us to create a disease-resistant habitat for epiphytic plants like orchids and ant plants in our Conservatory."
Ther is still many real trees you fck 😂 yall so emotional for this 3 fake trees for Design and immersion.
Whats funny is this stuff existed Since long Botanical gardens existed, I'm betting you never noticed it before and only complained now.
For some reason it feels like they're leafing something out . . .
Is he saying POO Noodle
no
Imagine paying entrance to a botanical garden and some trees are fake haha
but it serves a purpose they have plenty of real trees
If a real dead rotting tree falls on u inside a botanical garden I hope U don't complain
this is actually kinda cool
Nah
This compound of materials is a recycling hell... I understand that you try to enhance your decoration, to stand out among the crowd. But especially you should have sustainability on your mind.
Thanks, now i will never believe a botanical garden is real xD
And when would something like this be needed/ used? Seems like an awful lot of work
It's for some species of flowers that grow on trees. I don't know the specific species in this garden, but usually trees absolutely hate it when other plants grow on them, so this keeps the flowers AND the other trees happy :)
I hope the bark of a real tree was removed in the making of this fake treee🙄🤦♀️
Yes it was.
Who else is hearing " Poo Noodles" 😂
forgot to mention the metallic wireframe
Wiat a damn minute, is that real bark?
Yes.

Show us how you made the framework and how you collected the bark
And this is what more than half of Egypt is like.
I think a real tree would be worth it
but a real tree will die
It will rot and harbor pest
They keep saying tree but its not a tree. You are ripping people off
No, they plant real trees too, the fake trees are for planting epithytic plants.
who's paying to go see the trees in a garden? there's tons of other plants there. If they were ripping people off then they wouldn't post a video online about it for everyone to see, and just keep the fake trees to themselves.
