"Flower Tree" Built From Sprayer Boom

"Flower Tree" Built From Sprayer Boom FARM HOME recreation 28-6-31 Benny Friesen, Morris, Manitoba, recently sent FARM SHOW a photo of his homemade "flower tree" made out of parts from a Versatile 480 field sprayer. Benny is a retired farmer and a self-described shop "nut." The flower tree stands in Friesen's back yard. "It has been a point of discussion in our neighborhood on many occasions. When they first see it, many people want to know how I water the flowers. It's very easy - I just turn on the tap. A small hose leads to each pot," says Benny. The 3-in. dia. center pipe is set in the ground. A series of arms welds to it with metal loops at the ends for flower pots. There are 36 flower pots in all. The vertical pipe is braced by four lengths of angled rod. Wooden planks form a base at the bottom of the pipe.
