Bottle Trees and the Whimsical Art of Garden Glass

I'm an experienced gardener who loves sharing tips and tricks for making your garden the best it can be.

The clematis I planted by my tree has grown up between the bottles and looks beautiful.

Beautiful Art From the S

I love this form of old, Southern garden art that glistens in the sun and howls in the wind. Bottle trees are also great because they require no care. In one case they're up, you never have to h2o them, and you don't have to worry about them getting too hot or cold. You lot can fifty-fifty decorate them during the holidays!

This article will show you lot how to make a canteen tree for your garden. It's not hard, and it looks beautiful, peculiarly once your garden starts to grow around information technology.

Items Needed to Brand Your Tree

  • Treated 3x5 wood post/pole
  • Posthole digger
  • 80 D hot dip galvanized pole befouled nails (OR 8-inch galvanized lag screws and a socket wrench)
  • Hammer
  • Drill
  • Concrete (optional)
  • Bottles

I would rather have used a tree stump, just even in our woods, we couldn't find one that worked. No matter what your situation, at that place'due south a way to make a canteen tree work for you.

How to Brand a Bottle Tree

  1. Dig a hole about 25 inches deep and about 12 to 14 inches effectually.
  2. Place your post in the pigsty. If you want to add concrete, you tin can. (Nosotros did not do this, we merely filled the hole in with dirt.)
  3. Drill holes at an bending to put your spikes in. Retrieve to drill the holes far plenty apart so each bottle will fit and take room for the next bottle.
  4. Use a hammer (or drill if yous're using screws) to make sure spikes are secure.
  5. Decorate your tree with bottles!

Below are a video and step-by-step photos of my husband putting upward our bottle tree.

Where to Detect Bottles for Your Tree

While you tin can buy bottles on the Cyberspace, I prefer collecting them. I've even hit the liquor shop looking to see if I tin can find a unlike or special one. You can too tell people yous are putting upwardly a bottle tree; yous volition be surprised at how many bottles you get. At first, I had problem getting the ones I needed, but now that people know I want them, I'm getting them pretty fast. They may look at you similar yous're crazy—my children certainly did—simply it's worth information technology.

Some bottles look nice and pretty, only when they are put on the tree, the plastic blanket will start to come off. I leave them on anyhow, considering at least I will end upwardly with prissy, clear glass.

Go in antiquarian stores, rummage sales, and flea markets to find them. The bottles here are from my drove of blue. One is a wine bottle, another is an old seltzer bottle, and the residuum are shot spectacles. A bottle tree decorated entirely with pocket-size shot glasses would exist pretty. Yous simply have to make the rods they hang on larger or figure out another way to connect them, maybe with wire.

Small and large bottles.

How to Clean Your Bottles

If y'all're putting your bottles on a tree, soak them first to remove all labels.

  • Score the label.
  • Place the bottle in hot water.
  • Get out to soak (sometimes as long as overnight).
  • Peel off the label.

Notation: There are some labels yous accept to work at to get off. In this example, I skin every bit much every bit I can off and then let the bottle soak longer. I also employ lubricant spray to remove specially tricky labels, which works well.

My bottle tree. These three will exist added shortly.

My husband finally got the time to put up my bottle tree. I planted morn glories and so they could abound up the tree; they did, but they didn't bloom very well.

A clematis planted by the tree worked out well. Information technology grew up between the bottles. Diane Speros contacted me from Harris Publications. The magazine is going to put my canteen tree photo, with the clematis, in their publication of Flea Market place Outdoor 2016.

We have people drive past here, and they slow downward and keep looking in our yard. My married man and son were wondering what in the earth they constitute so interesting. A cherry-red truck stopped the other day, and our son went out and motioned for them to come into the driveway. He wanted them to come in and tell united states of america what they were looking at. We don't heed; nosotros're friendly! They wouldn't come in. I told the men in my family they were looking at my beautiful bottle tree. They merely laughed.

My personal belief is canteen trees came here by Europeans. My family goes back to the outset settlers. They came with many superstitions. They believed in witch assurance and gazing assurance and as well hung bottles in the copse to grab evil spirits.

There are photos of other trees in this article. Each i has its own charm and gives everyone ideas on how to practise their bottle tree.

Many people brand their trees from metallic rods, or simply place the bottles on quondam expressionless trees in their yard, simply that wasn't the kind I wanted. Information technology's up to yous to decide what kind of tree you desire, and the functionality will stay the same no matter which style yous choose.

I love the bottle tree on the right in the entrance...so pretty. There is no reason you tin can't put i in your abode—a small one by the window to catch the evil before it enters.

In Texas, blue bottle trees are chosen bluebonnet canteen copse. I call up this is a very pretty blue tree. Bud Light Platinum at present has bluish bottles; they can be used on a tree. A bottle tree would burnish up the cold winter garden, and you can add together twinkle lights—how pretty would this be?

Y'all can make a tiny lilliputian tree with cobalt bluish bottles. We plan to have lots more bottles than what you meet in the last picture. I want it to expect full like the second photograph in this article. Nosotros put lights on the tree for Christmas.

A man in our town makes bottle trees. I'm very surprised to come across a Northern making bottle copse it's usually someone from the southward. I tin drive all over town and non find a tree. I went looking for one the other twenty-four hour period someone said they had seen and never did find it. If you don't desire to make your own, you can always cheque out Jerry Swanson'south Bottle Tree site and run into if you like any of his trees to purchase. I don't know the man then I tin can't tell y'all much about buying his copse—just another avenue y'all can utilise if you don't desire to make your own tree.

  • We finally got started on the bottle tree. We used a treated postal service from Home Depot. The post is 3x5.
  • My hubby nailed large spikes into the post. He used eighty D hot dip galvanized pole barn nails.
  • They glisten in the sun and howl in the current of air.

A bottle tree brightens upward any cold winter garden, specially with twinkle lights. How pretty would that be?

The Fable Behind Bottle Trees

According to legend, evil spirits looking for problem are attracted to the bright, cute colors. These spirits will go in the bottles and become trapped. The sun will and then burn up the evil spirits in the morning. Just think how many terrible spirits they will catch on Halloween night. The bottles volition also keep spirits from inbound your home.

Blue bottles are for wellness, and they catch the evil spirits spreading sickness. When the current of air blows, you may just hear the moan of the evil spirits.

Where Did They Come From?

Some say they originally came from Europe, where people used them in their gardens and yards to keep evil spirits away. Others say they were brought to America from Africa by slaves.

Any the true story might be, bottle trees have been in Southern gardens for a very long time.

Bottle Tree Alternatives

If y'all don't want to put upward a tree, or you only don't have the space, here are some alternatives:

  • Hang a jar in a tree and add colored h2o.
  • Place a serial of metal rods in the ground, and place a single canteen on each.
  • Place bottles direct onto old trees in your one thousand.
  • Buy a witch ball. These were hung in cottage windows in 18th century England to ward off evil spirits and come up in many pretty colors.

All of these options are said to capture evil spirits, and then pick whichever one suits you all-time.

Festive Canteen Trees

I love decorating my bottle tree for the holidays. They really burnish upwards a cold, winter garden! Putting icicle lights inside each bottle works peculiarly well. Fifty-fifty with white lights, your tree volition still exist colorful.

Bottle Trees as Gifts and Around the Neighborhood

More of them are showing up effectually our town likewise. I love all the blueish in the second tree below. The bottle trees below are photos I took around town.

You've written wonderful instructions for building a canteen tree! I first learned of bottle trees equally a kid when I saw them... usually on farms and manner out in the country. I remember they were non particularly attractive at that time, only I was utterly fascinated with them and convinced my grandmother to allow me brand a bottle tree in her back yard. She immune it simply if I did information technology and then nobody else would see it...lol! The few I'd seen had very few colored glass bottles ... mostly clear glass or Coca-Cola bottles... but some of the clear drinking glass had turned that wonderful purplish-lavender colour... I would love to take some of those today...lol. Anyhow, my grandparents were not exactly enamored of my first canteen tree and it disappeared one winter and was rarely mentioned again. I've made several bottle trees as an adult and never tire of their cute colors. Many of my friends have followed suit... and just a calendar week or so ago, I noticed one of the back debate neighbors put up a great bottle tree on a pole... I can see only the acme of it, but I wonder if he saw mine and wanted one... bottle copse are showing up everywhere these days. Thanks for your neat post. :)

I started a bottle tree a couple years ago. I live in New England and so far I've been taking the bottles off the tree in the winter time. If any wet would get inside the bottle I'g afraid it would freeze and suspension the bottle. My girl works in a Bowling Alley with a lounge and when bottles are empty they send them to me. I got the idea from a friends daughter in Florida that had 1 in her dorsum yard along a canal of water, her tree looked great.... I have a big dorsum grand and think my tree eventually volition be a 'chat piece'.

A very proficient read, I didn't know about the witch-brawl or the hanging jar. Thanks for the info.

lesliebyars, Thank you glad you enjoyed it. We get people driving by and checking out our bottle tree. They fifty-fifty pull down into our drive-way. In that location aren't many bottle trees around hither. Cheers so much for stopping past and for the vote.

This is then interesting. There are interesting bottle trees here in the Birmingham, AL. There's even a restaurant chosen The Bottle Tree. Voted up and interesting.

Bobber, Thanks for stopping past and leaving a comment. I will have to check out the Moscato Di Asti. I'm starting to run out of room on my tree merely nosotros're going to try and move bottles effectually and add more than in between. My aunt had her tree made from rerod.

Bobber on December 31, 2012:

Merely made our own bottle tree out of rerod. Easy to weld and bend. Bevlamo too makes a great Moscato Di Asti (Sams Club) which comes in a cobalt blue bottle.
