Bonsai trees are beautiful to look at but they can be a real pain to keep alive, and many of these small trees are simply kept as living decorations, to be looked at and admired like art.
So why not skip all the years of caretaking, watering and heartache of watching another cute little tree die and get a metal bonsai tree instead?
Tree sculptor Matthew Gollop of Metal Bonsai makes mighty fine looking little bonsai trees out of metal wire which will last forever and ironically don't do well with water.
Each piece is hand crafted by Matthew out of different colors of wire, taking as much as 500 feet of wire for a single tree, and the end result is bonsai enough to be classy but made of metal so they're care free!
